The y-intercept is -8 as the minus always stays with the number to the right of it

Answer: False!

This equation is in slope - intercept form, where y = mx + b. B is the y - intercept and m is the slope. They got the location of the y - intercept right, but they forgot to add the negative. It's actually -8.

Hope this helps!
