We see immediately that the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 7). The line also goes through (4, -5). As we move from the first to the second point, x increases by 4 and y decreases by 12. Thus, the slope of this line is m = -12/4, or m = - 3.
Step-by-step explanation: You need to remember y=mx+b. M is the slope and b is the y intercept. The y intercept is easy as it's were the line touches the y axis or in this case 7. The slope is rise over run meaning you find a point on the graph like (2,1) and you count how many spaces up until your next to a point, and then you see how many spaces you have to move over or run. In this case you rise 3 and run 1 meaning the slope is or just 3.
