Slope = -4

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .
X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 8/4 = 2.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 8/2 = 4.
Slope is -4/2 = -2.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2*x+4.
