What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=2/3x-8? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope-Intercept Form 1 Answer Meave60 Jul 27, 2015 The slope is 2/3, and the y-intercept is -8. Explanation: y=2/3x-8 is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So for the equation y=2/3x-8, the slope is 2/3, and the y-intercept is -8.
