For graph 1, the y-intercept is (0,1) and the slope is 1.
For graph 2, the y-intercept is (0,4) and the slope is -1.
For graph 3, the y-intercept is (0,-4) and the slope is -2.
For graph 4, the y-intercept is (0,-3) and the slope is 3/2.
For graph 5, the y-intercept is (0,4) and the slope is 2.
For graph 6, the y-intercept is (0,3) and the slope is -3/2.

(By the way, since the graphs aren't labeled as numbers, I went from left to right, and then down, and then left to right again).

Now, here's the explanation:

Solving for y-intercept is easier than it sounds. All you need to do is mark the point where the line crosses the y-axis (vertical axis).

Solving for slope is just rise/run. For example, in graph one, the points on the line went up one and then to the right one.

So, 1/1 = 1.

When a slope moves down or to the left, it will be negative. However, that's only if the rise OR run is down/left. If both are negative, the two will cancel each other out to make a positive.

Hope this helped!!
