A)Slope -1, y-intercept (0, 8)
B)Slope -8, y-intercept (0, -1)
C)Slope 8, y-intercept (0, -1)
D)Slope -1, y-intercept (0, -8)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Here, m = -8 and b = -1, so the slope is -8 and the y-intercept is (0, -1).
