How do you find the slope and y intercept of #y = -2x + 8#?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

Slope = #-2#
Y-Intercept = #8#

#y=-2x+8#

The equation #y=mx+b#, where #m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept, is represented by this equation.

The y-intercept is #8# for #b# and the slope is #-2# for #m#.

To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation (y = -2x + 8), you would identify the coefficient of (x) as the slope, which in this case is -2. The y-intercept is the constant term, which is 8. Therefore, the slope of the equation is -2 and the y-intercept is 8.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
