Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
In this form, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Slope is rise over run. The formula for this is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.

1. Slope = 8 ; Y-intercept = 0
y = mx + b
m = 8 ; b = 0
y = 8x + 0
y = 8x

2. Slope = 1 ; Y-intercept = 2
y = mx + b
m = 1 ; b = 2
y = 1x + 2
y = x + 2

The answer to #1 is y = 8x.
The answer to #2 is y = x + 2.

Hope this helps!
