Given any linear function #y = color(red)mx +color(blue)b#
#color(red)m = "slope" and color(blue)b = "intercept"#
Thus #color (red)m = -4; color(blue)b = -8# graph{-4*x -8 [-3.82, -0.401, -4.32, 4.94]}

Explanation:

Given any linear function #y = color(red)mx +color(blue)b#
#color(red)m = "slope" and color(blue)b = "intercept"#
Thus #color (red)m = -4; color(blue)b = -8#
