x - 8y = -56      let's put it in this form.....

 

8y = x + 56      divide both sides by 8

 

y = (1/8)x + 7

 

So...the slope is (1/8)   and the y intercept  is just (0, 7)....just as Dragonlance found  !!!!

I'd change it to 8y=x+56. Then (since it's terrible to have a number in front of y) I'd divide the whole equation by 8. Now the equation is y=(1/8)x+7. The slope is always in front of x, which is (1/8). The y-intercept is the lonely number, which is 8. I hope this helps! :)

Hi Z

Anon make mistakes.

x-8y=-56

Rewrite it like this in slope intercept form

-8y = -56 - x

8y = 56 + x

Y= 7 + x/8

Y = x/8 + 7

y = 0.125x + 7

The slope is 0.125

The slope intercept is +7 This means the line cross the y at +7

I think this is right but one of the mods should check.
