Question

Give the slope and the y-intercept of the line y=– 8x+7. Make sure the y-intercept is written as a coordinate.

Answer 1

We have the following function given:

y =-8x+7

If we compare this with the general formula for a slope given by:

y= mx+b

We can see that the slope m is:

m =-8

And the y-intercept would be: (0,7)
