The Y-intercept is where the line goes through the Y-line. In this case, the Y-intercept is -3.

Slope is y2-y1/x2-x1

(5,6) (0,-3)

6-(-3)=9

5-0=5

9/5 is the slope.

Answer:

slope = [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex], y-intercept = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5,5) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{5+3}{5-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis

that is (0, - 3) ⇒ y-intercept = - 3
