Find the slope of the line (if it exists) and the y-intercept (if it exists).
-$$y = 9 x + 8$$
A) Slope $- 9$, y-intercept $( 0,8 )$
B) Slope 9, y-intercept $( 0,8 )$
C) Slope $8 , y$-intercept $( 0 , - 9 )$
D) Slope $8 , y$-intercept $( 0,9 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Here, $m = 9$ and $b = 8$, so the slope is 9 and the y-intercept is $(0, 8)$.
