For this problem the key is knowing what slope-intercept form is.
.

.
To get the equation into slope-intercept form we just got to move some of the numbers around.
.
Our initial equation:
.
The whole idea is to try and get y by itself like it is in the slope-intercept form.
.
To do so we will start by subtracting off the 3x from both sides:
.

.
Note: we want to put the 3x in front of the 20 because that's where x is located in the slope-intercept form.
.
Next we will divide by -4.
.

.
Note: Its easier to graph and it looks like the slope-intercept form when each number is individually divided by -4 rather then the whole right side of the equation. You just have to remember to divide ever number by -4.
