The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 3 and the slope is 1/2.
<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.
The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:
As we can see in the graph the line goes from (-6, 0) and (0, 3)
Finding the slope:
m = 3/6 = 1/2
y = mx + c
y = (1/2)x + c
c is the y-intercept
c = 3
The equation:
y = (1/2)x + 3
Thus, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 3 and the slope is 1/2.

Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form: 
. We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly: 
. Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is 
. XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.
