y+x=-8

Since x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides.
y=-x-8

To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m=slope and b is the y intercept.
y=mx+b

Using the y=mx+b formula, m=-1 and b=-8.
m=-1, b=-8
