Slope = $- 4$ $-4$
y-Intercept = $\frac{5}{2}$ $5/2$

Equation of a line => $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$

=> $2 y = - 8 x + 5$ $2y=-8x + 5$
=> $y = - \frac{8}{2} x + \frac{5}{2}$ $y=-8/2x+5/2$
=> $y = - 4 x + \frac{5}{2}$ $y=-4x+5/2$

Comparing this with equation of line gives,
Slope $m = - 4$ $m = -4$ and y-Intercept $c = \frac{5}{2}$ $c=5/2$

What is the slope and intercept of 8x+2y=58x + 2y = 5 ?
