To find the slope and y-intercept, rewrite the equation in the slope-intercept form: \"y+=+mx+%2B+b\" where: m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-x+-+4y+=+-32\" Add 4y to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x+=+4y+-+32\" Add 32 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x+%2B+32+=+4y\" Finally, divide both sides by 4.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-1%2F4%29x+%2B+8+=+y\" or
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-1%2F4%29x+%2B+8\" Compare this with:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope, \"m+=+-1%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept, \"b+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
