Answer: The slope is -8/989 and the y-intercept is at (0,9)(0,9)

Explanation:

Note that the standard form for linear equations is:
y=mx+by=mx+b
where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept

Therefore, in this problem, m=-8/9m=89 and b=9b=9
So, the slope is -8/989 and the y-intercept is at (0,9)(0,9)
