Question

The equation represent y as a function of x. Identify the slope and y-intercept for this linear function.

y = 8-3x

Slope =
y-Intercept =

Answer 1

y= 8

Explanation:

y = 8 - 3x

y = 8-3*0

y = 8

Answer 2

Given equation is

`y = 8 - 3x`

we need to identify the slope and y intercept of this function.

We know that standard form of slope intercept form as

`y = mx + c`

where ,

• m is slope
• c is y intercept

We can convert the given equation into standard form as ,

`\longrightarrow y = -3x + 8`

On comparing to the standard form, we have ;

• 
  `m = - 3`
• 
  `c = 8`

And we are done!
