Answer:

y=-8

Explanation:

First, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:


y=-(8)/(3)x-8

Now just look at the slope-intercept form and your y-intercept is -8, and your slope is
-(8)/(3) x.

If you don't know what slope-intercept form is it is y=mx+b where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept.

Hope this helps! :)
