Start with the formula y=mx + b.

The equation listed above is y = -17. Since x doesn't appear the 'm' in mx must be 0 (the slope). So our equation is now y = 0x -17. To find the y intercept we put 0 in for x. We want to find where the line will cross the Y axis. y = 0*0 -17. That simplifies to Y = -17 (intercept).

What is a slope used for?

It shows the relationship of y in terms of x. [y = (yIntercept) + ((slope)*(x))] [slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)]

How do you find the slope and y-intercept of an equation?

first of all, i dont see how slope and yintercept has anything to do with shopping. usually in an equation, y= mx+b, m stands for slope, and b is the y-intercept. x and y are just x and y. If the equation is mixed up, and is not in y=mx+b format, you need to solve to get y on one side, the slope, x, and whatever the presented constant is (which is the y-intercept) on the other side. hope this helps.
