Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line y=-6x+8

Answer:

Slope = -6.

y-intercept = (0, 8).

Explanation:

y = mx + c is the general slope-intercept equation of a line, where m = the slope and c = the y coordinate of the y-intercept.

So for y = -6x + 8 the slope = -6 and the y-intercept is (0, 8).

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this case:

m = -6

b = 8

This means that -6 is the slope and (0, 8) is the y-intercept.

Hope this helped!
