Answer:
y must have a numerical coefficient of 1. This equation does. If it does not, then you must divide through by whatever is in front of the y.
To read the slope, you must have x and its coefficient on opposite sides of the equal sign.
So you get
y = 8x – 12 when you add 8x to both sides
Next, the y intercept is found when x = 0
y = 8x – 12
y = 8(0) – 12
y = – 12
The y intercept is -12 or in point form (0, – 12)
Answer
slope = 8
y intercept = – 12
