Equations in slope-intercept form follow a specific format, where m represents the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
y= mx+ b
The given equation is already in this form. Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b.
y= - 8x - 6 ⇔ y= - 8x+( - 6)
We can see that the slope is - 8 and the y-intercept is - 6.
