Answer:

slope: 6; y-intercept: -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

y + 8 = 6x

The general equation of a line is :

y = mx+b...(1)

Where

m is slope and b is y-intercept

Equation (1) can be rewritten as follows :

y = 6x -8

or

y = 6x +(-8) ....(2)

Compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

Slope, m = 6 and y intercept = -8

Hence, the correct option is (c).
