Question

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the line shown in the graph?

A. y-intercept = 2 and slope = -3
B. y-intercept = 2 and slope = 3
C. y-intercept = 3 and slope = 2
D. y-intercept = -3 and slope = 2

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The y intercept is where the line crosses the Y (vertical) axis. In this case, it happens at y=2

The slope is the rate of change. For every 1 space it moves on the horizontal axis, it moves 3 vertical spaces. It is going down, so it is -3
