Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Add $8 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$9 y = 10 + 8 x$

Step 1.3

Divide each term in $9 y = 10 + 8 x$ by $9$ and simplify.

Step 1.3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{9 y}{9} = \frac{10}{9} + \frac{8 x}{9}$

Step 1.3.2.1.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{10}{9} + \frac{8 x}{9}$

Step 1.4

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Step 1.4.1

Reorder $\frac{10}{9}$ and $\frac{8 x}{9}$ .

$y = \frac{8 x}{9} + \frac{10}{9}$

Step 1.4.2

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{8}{9} x + \frac{10}{9}$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is $\frac{10}{9}$ .

$b = \frac{10}{9}$

Step 3

y-intercept in point form.

$(0, \frac{10}{9})$
