Slope = -3
$x_("intercept") =0$
$y_("intercept")=0$

Consider the standard form of $y=mx+c$

This is the equation of a straight line that passes through the origin.

In your case $c=0$ so $" "y_("intercept")=c=0$

$x_("intercept")$ occurs at $y=0$

So as $0=mx$ it means that as $m!=0" then "x=0$

#x_("intercept") =0

The gradient is m =-3
