Answer:

C.) slope: -1.25; y-intercept: 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.25 is the same as 5/4, which is the rise/run for this equation in particular.

The following equation can be used to find the Y-intercept for this graph:

[tex]-3 = \frac{5}{4} (6) + b\\-3 = -7\frac{1}{2} +b\\4.5=b[/tex]

Therefore, our y-intercept for this line is positive 4.5 and the slope is -1.25 or -5/4
