$y = - x + 8$ $y=-x+8$

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form for a linear equation is $y = m x + b$ $y=color(red)mx+color(blue)b$ , where $m$ $color(red)m$ is the slope and $b$ $color(blue)b$ is the y-intercept.

$- x - y = - 8$ $-x-y=-8$

Add $x$ $x$ to both sides.

$- y = x - 8$ $-y=x-8$

Multiply both sides times $- 1$ $-1$ .

$y = - x + 8$ $y=-x+8$

$m = - 1$ $color(red)m=-1$

$b = 8$ $color(blue)b=8$
