The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
The slope is the change in divided by the change in .
So choose two points and use the x and y coordinates to find the slope.

Suppose you have a linear equation:

------------------
The y-intercept is where
so, making ,

The y-intercept is at ( 0. -11 )
----------------------------
The slope is
here's the plot:
