Slope: 1/4 Y-Intercept: 8
Slope: -1/4 Y-Intercept: 8
Slope: 8 Y-Intercept: 1/4
Slope: 8 Y-Intercept: -1/4

Answer 1

The equation provided is in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) represents the slope and \(b\) represents the y-intercept.

In the equation \(y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 8\):

• The slope \(m\) is \(-\frac{1}{4}\).
• The y-intercept \(b\) is \(8\).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Slope: -1/4 Y-Intercept: 8
