The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

-3x - 8y = 10
-8y = 10 + 3x
8y = -3x - 10
y = -3/8x - 10/8

slope = -3/8
intercept = -10/8
