1) First, you should convert the equation to the "slope-intercept" form: Y = mx + b
This will make everything easier.
3x + 4y = 8
4y = 8 - 3x
y = -3/4x + 8/4
y = -3/4x + 2 This is your final equation.
2) The slope is the 'm' of the equation. Remember: Y = mx + b. It is what 'x' is being multiplied by.
In this case, we can clearly see the slope is -3/4.
3) The y-intercept can be obtained by setting 'x' to 0 (zero). Replace 'x' for a zero.
Y = -3/4(0) + 2
y = 0 + 2
y = 2 This is the y-intercept.
A different and easier way to get it, if your equation is in the slope-intercept form, is just by reading the 'b' constant. As you can see, this equation had 2 for a 'b'.
This will make everything easier.

I'm not sure but i guess y-intercept=-4 ans slope=(3,4)
please do check it...i'm not sure..i hope it's correct..
