Answer
The y-intercept = 2
Step-by-step explanation
The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as
y = mx + b
where
y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.
m = slope of the line.
x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.
b = y-intercept of the line.
So, we just have to write the given equation in this form and the y-intercept will become apparent.
x + 4y = 8
4y = -x + 8
Divide through by 4
(4y/4) = (-x/4) + (8/4)
y = -0.25x + 2
Comparing this with y = mx + b
We can see that
b = y-intercept = 2
Hope this Helps!!!
