Solution
a)
The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis
x-intercept = 8
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis
y-intercept = 5
[tex]Slope\text{ = }\frac{rise}{run}\text{ = }\frac{-5}{8}[/tex]
b)
The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis
x-intercept = -2
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis
y-inetrcept = 1
[tex]Slope\text{ = }\frac{rise}{run}\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\text{ }[/tex]
