4%2Ax-1%2Ay=3Start with the given equation



-1%2Ay=3-4%2Ax Subtract 4%2Ax from both sides

y=%28-1%29%283-4%2Ax%29 Multiply both sides by -1

y=%28-1%29%283%29%2B%281%29%284%29x%29 Distribute -1

y=-3%2B%284%29x Multiply

y=4%2Ax-3 Rearrange the terms

y=4%2Ax-3 Reduce any fractions

So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (y=mx%2Bb) where m=4 (the slope) and b=-3 (the y-intercept)
