Slope = -10, y-intercept = -8
Explanation:
It is a linear function in the standard form.
so the coefficient of x is the slope, that is -10
and constant is the y intercept, that is -8
Another example:
This is not in the standard form because coefficient of y is not 1
So dividing the whole equation by 2, we get
Now it is in the standard form, so coefficient of x is the slope(that is 3) and constant is the y-intercept(That is 2)
