Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

The equation is y = -2x + 8.

The slope is -2x.

The Y-intercept is 8.

The reason why the slope is -2x is because a number that has a variable is a slope, while the Y-intercept is a number that has a y or no variable.

hope this helps.

Answer:

y = -2x + 8

Explanation:

To get this answer, we need to use inverse operations (SADMEP) To get the x onto the other side of the equation. To do this is quite simple, you just subtract 2x from one side of the equation, and put it on the other side of the equation. Since you subtracted it, it is now negative, so the answer is y = -2x +8.

Slope is -2

Y intercept is 8

Hope this helps!
