Answer:Slope=8,
(-1)/(2),equation is
x+2y=16.

Explanation:

Y-intercept of the line is defined as y-coordinate the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

We can see from the graph that the line passes y axis at
(0,8)

So,y intercept is
8

Let
m be the slope of a line which passes through
(x_(1).y_(1)) and
(x_(2),y_(2))


m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

The given line passes through
(0,8) and
(10,3)

So,
m=(8-3)/(10-0)=(-1)/(2).

Equation of a line that passes through
(x_(1),y_(1)) and slope
m is
y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1)).

It is given that the line passes through
(0,8)

So, the equation is
y-8=(-1)/(2)* (x-0)

So,
x+2y=16 is equation of the the given line when simplified.
