The slope of this equation is (−89)
The y-intercept is (0,−103)

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in what we call the slope, intercept form, y=mx+b. When the equation is written in this form, the value of m is the slope of the equation. The y-intercept is the value of b. By comparing your equation to the equation y=mx+b we see that the value of m (the slope) is −89. The value of b, (the y-intercept) is −109, which is represented by the ordered pair (0,−103).
