The equation you've provided, \( y - x = -8 \), can be rearranged to express \( y \) in terms of \( x \):
\[ y = x - 8 \]
This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where the slope \( m \) is 1 and the y-intercept \( b \) is -8.
If you need to graph this equation or find specific values, please let me know how you'd like to proceed!
