The correct answer is: $-\mathrm{r}$ and $\in$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \quad \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{V}+\mathrm{Ir} \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{Ir} \\
& \text { Comparing with } \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}+\mathrm{c} \\
& \text { Slope }=-\mathrm{r} \text {, intercept }=\mathrm{E}
\end{aligned}
$$
