Without graphing, identify the slope and the y-intercept
-3x + 4y = -4

Step 1. Need to put above line in slope intercept form given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept b when x=0 or at point (0,b).

Step 2. Solving for y in -3x + 4y = -4 yields the following steps.

Add 3x to both sides of the equation

Divide by 4 to both sides of the equation

Step 3. Comparing with we have and

Step 4. ANSWER: The slope of line is and the y-intercept is .

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
