### Determining the Slope and Y-Intercept

To find the slope and the \( y \)-intercept of the given line equation, we need to first convert the equation into the slope-intercept form, \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) represents the slope and \( b \) represents the \( y \)-intercept.

Given the equation:
\[ y + 5 = -8x \]

We solve for \( y \):

\[ y = -8x - 5 \]

From the equation in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), we see that:
- The slope (\( m \)) is \( -8 \).
- The \( y \)-intercept (\( b \)) is \( -5 \).

#### Enter your answers:
**Slope =** [ ]

**\( y \) intercept =** [ ]
