Slope: 8
y-intercept:0

Explanation:

We can find our slope and our y-intercept by putting this equation in slope-intercept form, that is, y=color(red)mx+color(blue)b, where

color(red)m is the slope and
color(blue)b is the y-intercept

We can start by subtracting 8x from both sides to get:

-y=-8x+0

We can divide all terms by -1 to get:

y=color(red)8x+color(blue)0

The coefficient of x, 8, is the slope and the y-intercept is at 0.

Hope this helps!
