Question

Y=-8x-4 I need the slope and the y intercept

Answer 1

The given line equation is,

`y=-8x-4`

We have the general line equation in the form,

`y=mx+b`

Here m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So on equating the both the equations,

we get,

`\begin{gathered} m=-8 \\ b=-4 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope is -8 and the y intercept is -4.
