From linear equation of a line,

y=mx+c or y=mx+b

Slope of a line is m and y-intercept is c (or b).

So first we have to make y the subject in

→8x+y=9

→y= - 8x+9

y = mx + c

Hence slope is (-8) and y-intercept is 9.

for x-intercept, put y=0 and we get

0 = -8x+9

x=-8/-9

x= 8/9

therefore x intercept is 8/9.
