<PRE><B>Question 253157</B>
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:
