The equation you provided is in the slope-intercept form, which is generally written as:
\[ y = mx + b \]
where:
- \( m \) is the slope,
- \( b \) is the y-intercept.
In the equation \( y = 38x - 9 \):
- The slope (\( m \)) is 38.
- The y-intercept (\( b \)) is -9.
So, the slope is 38, and the y-intercept is -9.
