Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line

Y=-5/4x+8

Explanation: This is a linear equation because it's written in slope-intercept form or y = mx + b where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the b represents the constant term.

So the slope will be the coefficient of the x-term which means the number that is in front of the x which in this case is - 5/4.

The y-intercept is the constant term which is + 8

Slope = - 5/4

Y-intercept = 8
