Question

What is the slope and y- intercept for y=1/4x+8

Answer 1

This equation is in slope intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The equation we have is:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+8$

Thus, m is 1/4. This means the slope is 1/4

The value of b is 8. This means the y intercept is 8.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \frac{1}{4} x + 8 \\ equating \: it \: with \\ y = mx + b \\ slope \: (m) = \frac{1}{4} \\ y - intercept \: (b) = \frac{1}{8}$
