Question

Find the slope of $3x - y - 8 = 0$

Answer 1

The equation of any straight line can be written as $y=mx+c$, where $m$ is its slope and $c$ is its y - intercept.
$3x-y-8=0$ can be written as $y=3x-8$
Comparing this equation with the standard form of the equation, we get: $m=3,c=-8$
Hence, slope of $3x-y-8=0$ is $3$ and y -intercept is $-8$
