Answer:

The slope is 8/3 and the y intercept is 0

Explanation:

0=-8x+3y

We need to get this equation in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Add 8x to each side

8x = 8x-8x+3y

8x = 3y

Divide each side by 3

8/3 x = 3y/3

8/3x = y

y = 8/3x +0

The slope is 8/3 and the y intercept is 0
