Chapter 3 - Graphing Linear Functions - 3.5 - Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form - Exercises - Page 142: 21

Answer

The slope is $5$, and the $y-$ intercept is $8$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow -5x=8-y$ Add $5x+y$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -5x+5x+y=8-y+5x+y$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=5x+8$ The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ $y-$intercept is $b=8$. The slope is $m=5$ Hence, the slope is $5$, and the $y-$ intercept is $8$.
