Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where mm is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Combine 15 and x.

y=x5-8

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

y=15x-8

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of m and b using the for y=mx+b.

m=15

b=-8

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: 15

y-intercept: −8
