Question

What is the slope and y-intercept of the graph? (write your answer in simplest form)

Answer 1

Slope is -3
Y intercept is 5
Equation is
-3x+5=y

Answer 2

m = -3

y-intercept = 5

Explanation:

You can use the rise/run approach on this graph. You start at the first point, which luckily, is the y-intercept (0, 5).

`(-3)/(1)`

You can count 3 units down (which gives you the -3) and then 1 unit right (which gives you the 1).

You can now reduce the fraction to -3.
