Question

find the slope and y-intercept of the line whose equation is given y=2x-8

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:

$y=mx+b$

Where:

m = Slope = x-coefficient

b = y-intercept = constant term

For the equation:

$y=2x-8$

We can conclude:

m = Slope = 2

b = y-intercept = -8
