Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y= -8x - 7`?

Answer 1

The slope is -8 and the y-intercept is `(0,-7)`

Explanation:

The standard slope form equation is `y=mx+b` where:

m = slope
b= y-intercept.

So -8 is the slope and -7 is the y-intercept. But y-intercept is a point on he graph which is `(0,-7)`
