See the explanation

#8y-2x=-4#

Convert it in the form of #y=mx+c#

Here , #m# is the slope of the line and #c# is the #y#-intercept.

#=> 8y=2x-4#

Divide by #2# both sides

#=> 4y=x-2#

#=> y=1/4 x -2/4#

#=> y=1/4 x -1/2#

On equating with #y=mx+c#

#=> m=1/4 ("Slope")#

#=> c=-1/2 (y-"intercept")#
