Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x and y axes extend from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two points are plotted on the graph. A downward slanting line connects the two points. Point A is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma negative 3 right parenthesis. Point B is plotted at left parenthesis negative 4 comma 0 right parenthesis.
Identify the slope and y -intercept of the line. Provide the most simplified form of the slope.
(1 point)
The slope is
. The y-intercept is (0,
).

The slope of the line passing through points A(0, -3) and B(-4, 0) is:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (0 - (-3)) / (-4 - 0)
slope = 3 / -4
slope = -3/4
So, the slope of the line is -3/4.
The y-intercept of the line is (0, -3).
