Answer:

(0,7)

Explanation:

This equation you are given is in slope-intercept form, the form y=mx+b.

It is called slope-intercept from because it gives us the slope and the y-intercept.

The slope is m.

The y-intercept is b.

If we compare y=8x+7 to y=mx+b, we should make the conclusion that m=8 and b=7.

This tells the slope is 8 while the y-intercept is 7.

The y-intercept is 7 is sometimes required to be represented by a point. Since it is the y-intercept, the x is 0 so the point that represents the y-intercept is (0,7).
