transform the equation into the y intercept form
$y =mx +b$ the m will be the slope and the b the y intercept.

$3/4x -y = 4$ subtract $3/4 x$ from both sides.

$3/4x - 3/4x -y = -3/4 x + 4$ this gives

$-y = - 3/4x + 4$ divide both sides by -1#

$(-1y)/-1 = (-3/4x)/-1 + 4/-1$ This results in

$y = 3/4 x + -4$

The m ( mountain ski slope) or slope is 3/4

The b ( the beginning) the y intercept is -4

How do you find the slope and intercept of 3/4x - y = 43/4x - y = 4?
