standard form of the equation is:

-4x + y = 8

to solve for y, do the following:

add 4x to both sides of the equation to get:

y = 4x + 8

the equation is now in slope intercept form of y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

slope is equal to 4

y-intercept is equal to 8

graph of y = 4x + 8 is shown below:
