Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,

Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,



And the second one,


The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3

Answer:
m=2 and b=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation is organized in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When given the equation, y=2x-8, we can see that 2 is in the place of m and -8 is in the place of b. The reason the y-intercept isn't 8 is that y=2x-8 can be written as y=2x+(-8) since y=mx+b involves addition. Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -8.
m=2 and b=-8
I hope this helps!
