identify the slope and y-intercept

Question

y=-3x+8

Answer 1

In the equation of a line in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the y-intercept.

For the equation \( y = -3x + 8 \):

• The slope \( m \) is \(-3\).
• The y-intercept \( b \) is \( 8 \).

Thus, the slope is \(-3\) and the y-intercept is \( 8 \).
