How do you find the slope given y=3x-8? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer VNVDVI Mar 2, 2018 #3# Explanation: For a line in the form of #y=mx+b,# slope-intercept form, #m# represents the slope. For #y=3x-8, m=3#, so the slope is equal to #3.# Answer link Related questions What is Slope? How can slope be undefined? How do you calculate slope from a graph?
