Thread: Determine the slope

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph: 3x + y = 8.

I need help to solve this problem

put the problem in slope intercept form (y = mx + b) with m being the slope and b being the y intercept.


3x + y = 8

y = -3x + 8
y = mx + b


so m = ?

and b = ?

My answer is 8. Am I correct?

yes for the y-intercept, what about the slope?

The slope is 0.

Thank you for the help.

Actually rhe slope is -3.

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

so,

y = (-3)x + 8
y = (m )x + b
