Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line with the given equation.

*do not enter the y-intercept as an ordered pair
m =
b=
y=-3x+8

Answer 1

m = -3

b = 8

Explanation:

y = -3x + 8 is in slope-intercept form, which is:

y = mx + b

so the slope is the m, the number right there beside the x. In your equation its -3. The b is the y-intercept, so its the last number tacked on the end of the equation there on the right. For your question, its the 8.

Slope is -3 and y-intercept is 8.
