The slope intercept form of an equation has the next general form:

You can identify the slope m in this form as the value next to the x

And the y- intercept (the point where x=0) as the b, with coordinates (0,b)

As you have the equation:

You can convert it by clearing the y, as follow:

You organize it and get the slope intercept form:
y=2x+4

The slope of this equation is m=2The y-intercept is 4 with coordinates (0, 4)
