Answer:

Slope= -1/5 Y-intercept= 8

Explanation:

in the equasion, it is y=mx+b.

m= slope

b=y intercept

in your equasion, -1/5= m, meaning it is the slope!

and b=8, meaning youe y intercept is 8

if you needed to show your work all you have to do is replace x with 0 to find the y intercept.

hope this helps!
