@derpstar Are you there?

its 1/5x not 1/5 whoops
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Ok. Well you see the question is in the format of y=mx+b where m is the slpe and b is the y-intercept.
So
y=mx+b
y=1/5x-8
What does m=? and b=? m will give you the answer for the slope and b will tell you the y-intercept.

oooooh this is super easy m=1/5 b=8 correct??
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
m=1/5 is correct

You see it is
y=mx \(\Huge + \) b
y=1/5x \(\Huge -\) 8
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
No prob
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
lol I helped her and you just gave her the answer... *shakes head* oh well
