One way is this:

4y%22%22=%22%223

Solve for y

y%22%22=%22%223%2F4

There is no x term, so insert 0x before the 3/4:

y%22%22=%22%220x%2B3%2F4

Now compare that with

y%22%22=%22%22mx%2Bb

And you see that the slope m = 0

+4y+=+3+
divide both sides by +4+
+y+=+3%2F4+
+x+ is not defined, so it could be any number,
but +y+=+3%2F4+ always. So, valid points on the line are:
( -5, 3/4 )
( 7.0321, 3/4 )
( sqrt%2841%29, 3/4 )
This line is horizontal, and the slope is +m+=+0+
You could say the equation is:
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+
+y+=+0%2Ax+%2B+3%2F4+
So, the y-intercept is:
( 0 , 3/4 )
