To find the slope you can look at the graph at tell that the line goes down 2 and to the right 1. It looks like this in fraction form -1/2. If we divide -1 by -2 we get -0.5. This is a downward slope so the slope is negative. The y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis which is 5. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
