Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. y = x – 8

Answer 1

Y-intercept = -8

Slope = 1

Explanation:

The Y-intercept is the constant or the integer in the equation.

So, the y-intercept is "-8".

The slope is the number with which "x" is multiplied with.

So, the slope is 1, because 'x' and '1x' are similar; therefore the slope is 1.

Answer 2

y- intercept= -8

slope= 1

Explanation:

Looking at the question, the y- intercept is always the number were the line on the graph passes over on the y- axis. The slope is always the number with x in front of it.
