Identify the slope and y-intercept, if they exist.

x+8=2

1 answer

To identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation x + 8 = 2, we first need to isolate the variable x.

We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:

x + 8 - 8 = 2 - 8

This simplifies to:

x = -6

Now that the equation is in the form "y = mx + b" where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept, we can see that the slope is 0 and the y-intercept does not exist since there is no y term in the equation.
