What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=2/3x-8? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope-Intercept Form 1 Answer Meave60 Jul 27, 2015 The slope is #2/3#, and the y-intercept is #-8#. Explanation: #y=2/3x-8# is in slope-intercept form, #y=mx+b#, where #m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept. So for the equation #y=2/3x-8#, the slope is #2/3#, and the y-intercept is #-8#.
