Question

12. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line. y= 1/5x-8

Answer 1

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

What does the problem want us to find:

• slope
• y-intercept

Let's gather the information:

  ⇒ the information given: y = 1/5 x - 8

        ⇒ the line is in slope-intercept form

            ⇒ means:

                     ⇒ coefficient in front of 'x' is the slope

                     ⇒ constant is the y-intercept

• slope is 1/5
• y-intecept is -8

Answer:

• Slope is 1/5
• y-intercept is -8

Hope that helps!
