What is the slope and y-intercept of 2x+4y=16
---
Solve for "y":
4y = -2x+16
y = (-1/2)x + 4
---
slope = -1/2
intercept = 4

Solve your equation for in terms of everything else, which is to say: rearrange your equation into the form:

Then the slope is the coefficient on and the -intercept is the point
