$- 1.5 x - 3$

Step 1

Write $- 1.5 x - 3$ as an equation.

$y = - 1.5 x - 3$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Step 2.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2.2

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - 1.5$

$b = - 3$

Step 2.3

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $- 1.5$

y-intercept: $(0, - 3)$

Slope: $- 1.5$

y-intercept: $(0, - 3)$
