Hi
*[tex \LARGE\ Using \ the \ standard \ slope-intercept \ form \ for \ an \ equation \ of \ a  \ line \ y = mx + b ] 
*[tex \LARGE\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ the \ y-intercept]
x+4y=12   |solving for y
  y = (-1/4)x  + 3   y-intercept is Pt(0,3)
Line with same  y-intercept
 y = mx + 3   |using ordered pair Pt(5,4) to solve for m
 4 = m*5 + 3
 1/5 = m
