Question

True or False?

When graphing y = 2x - 8 the y-intercept is -8 and the slope is 2

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

y = 2x-8

This equation is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

2 is the slope and -8 is the y intercept

Answer 2

True.

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b

m = slope (or 2 in this case)

b = y-intercept (or -8 in this case)

y & x comes from the coordinates (y, x).
