+23246 To find the slope and the y-intercept from an equation for a straight line, place the equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b; that is, solve the equation for y.
The coefficient of x will be the slope, the number added or subtracted at the end will be the y-intercept.
-3x + 4y = -8
Add 3x to both sides:
4y = 3x - 8
Divide by 4:
y = (3/4)x - 2
The slope is 3/4 ; the v-intercept is -2.
