This is pretty simple. So a standard form equation is probably something like this: 2x+8y=10.
We have to get that equation right there into a slope intercept, which is just isolating the variable y.
2x+8y=16
-2x -2x Subtract the x value.
------------------
(8y=16-2x)/8 Divide the whole equation by 8 to isolate the y value.
------------------
y=2-1/4x
------------------
The fraction with the variable x is the slope. In this case, the slope is -1/4, so meaning it goes down one unit and goes right 4.
------------------
The 2 is the y-intercept. (0, 2)
