Give the slope and the \( y \)-intercept of the line with the given equation. Then, graph the linear equation. \( y=2 x+8 \) What is the slope? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice. A. The slope is (Simplify your answer.) B. The slope is undefined.

The slope of the line given by the equation \( y = 2x + 8 \) is 2. This is easily identified as the coefficient of \( x \) in the equation. The \( y \)-intercept is 8, which is the constant term in the equation and indicates the point where the line crosses the \( y \)-axis. To graph this equation, you can start by plotting the \( y \)-intercept (0, 8) on the graph. From there, use the slope of 2, which means you rise 2 units up and run 1 unit to the right, to find another point on the line, such as (1, 10). Connect these points with a straight line, and you've successfully graphed the equation!
