Zachery Mcintyre · Answer 1

The slope would be - 0.8 and 5.6 would be the intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant at the end of the equation is always the intercept.

The coefficient of x is the slope.

This just means that the graph starts at (0. 5.6) and has a rate of change of - 0.8 y for every change in x.
