Question

Given the equation y = 2x - 8, what is the slope and the y-intercept?

m = 2 and b = 8
m = 2 and b = -8
m = 8 and b = 2
m = -8 and b = 2

Answer 1

m=2, b= -8

Answer 2

and in the future, just know that in a y=mx+b equation, the mx is the slope and the b is the y-intercept…that is why this answer works
