I don't understand what I have to demonstrate on the question about "if we could extrapolate your graph to your Y-intercept, we would, knowing the shape of our graph and that the formula of straight line is y=max+c, deduce the value of slope

The data in the table above provide the temperature dependence of the rate constant for the reaction
shown. Complete the table with required information to 2 significant figures each.
Carefully construct a neat and well labelled graph/plot of In K (y-axis) versus 1/T (x-axis) in the appropriate
quadrant (s), using EXCEL or the template below; then determine the slope and activation energy, E, for the given
reaction. Recall that the Arrhenius Equation is represented in a more useful form as In K= ln A- (E₂/RT) & R=
8.31 x 10³ kJ/mol-K. Determine by calculation, the value of Ea in kj/mole given that, slope = -E/R
If we could extrapolate your graph to the Y-intercept, we would, knowing the shape of our graph and that the
formula of straight line is y=mx+c; deduce the value of the slope
From the shape of your graph, do you deduce/conclude that (circle your choice)
a) the rate constant (decreases, increases, or remains constant) with increasing activation energy
b) the rate constant (decreases, increases, or remains constant) with increasing temperature
