Answer 1

Remember that y - intercept is where the line crosses the y - axis, and from there it maybe obvious which one has a slope of -2 as you can count from the y - intercept and down

Answer 2

point to point by -2

Answer 3

I'm confused, I don't know how to find the slope.

Answer 4

Or you can just use the slope formula \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\] using any two points

Answer 5

Right, but I don't know how to tell which one is the y-intercept in this problem because it doesn't really point to -2 clearly.

Answer 6

Notice the slope is -2/1 rise/run you can think of it as so -2 down and 1 to the right

Answer 7

The y - intercept is -1

Answer 8

Would it be the second option? Graph X?

Answer 9

That's where the line crosses the y - axis, so so notice for example the y - intercept here is -2 as it crosses the y - axis there
