Hi,

Note: the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept. 

 y=-8/5x-9/8  This is in the slope-intercept form

m = -(8/5)

Y-intercept is (0, -(9/8)

 The equation is in the form  where  

is the slope. Therefore the slope is



The y-intercept occurs where 







The y-intercept is at (0,-9/8)
