The problem in the image is asking to find the slope and y-intercept of the equation:

$y = 8x - 9$

This equation is in slope-intercept form, $y = mx + b$, where:

• $m$ is the slope.
• $b$ is the y-intercept.

From the given equation:

• The slope $m = 8$.
• The y-intercept $b = -9$, which means the line crosses the y-axis at $(0, -9)$.

So:

• The slope is 8.
• The y-intercept is -9.

Tip:

To graph the line, start at the y-intercept $(0, -9)$, and use the slope $8$ to rise 8 units up for every 1 unit you move to the right.
