Hi there! That equation is in slope-intercept form. That is y = mx + b, with “m” being the slope and “b” being the y-intercept. With that being said, that would be 2/3 as the slope and 8 as the y-intercept, because 2/3 fills in “m” and 8 fills in”b”. Here are the answers written out better.

Slope: 2/3
y-intercept: 8
