To find the y-intercept of the line given by the equation \( y = \frac{7}{10}x - 8 \), we set \( x = 0 \).
Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation:
\[ y = \frac{7}{10}(0) - 8 = 0 - 8 = -8 \]
Therefore, the y-intercept is \(-8\).

x–8.
Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
