Question

8x + y = 30
The equation above has the slope
and a y-intercept of
.

Answer 1

Slope: -8

Y-intercept: 30

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation so it is slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

To do so, use inverse operations.

You will end up with y=-8x+30.

m is the slope. You can conclude that -8 is the slope.

b is the y-intercept. You can conclude that 30 is the y-intercept.
