Question 1053379: Find the slope and y-intercept for 2x+8y=-32 and then graph the line

the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

2x + 8y = -32
8y = -2x - 32
y = (-1/4)x - 4
m = (-1/4)
y-intercept = -4
P(0,-4) and P(4,-5) on this line
