Question

Find the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation.
y = 8x +9

Answer 1

Slope = 8

Y-intercept = (0, 9)

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form of an equation :

• y = mx + b

1. m = slope
2. b = y-intercept

Therefore, on comparing with the given equation :

• Slope (m) = 9
• Y-intercept (b) = (0, 9)
