The equation is in form y = mx + b.

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In the equation given the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -8.

Hope this helps :)

The slope is 1/2 while the y intercept is 8.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, b being the y intercept and m being the slope.

Hope this helps!
