We have the following:

The equation in slope and y-intercept form is


y=mx+b

where b is y-intercept

Now, we solve the equation given in the statement and solve for y


\begin{gathered} 2x+4y=8 \\ (2)/(4)x+(4)/(4)y=(8)/(4) \\ (1)/(2)x+y=2 \\ y=-(1)/(2)x+2 \end{gathered}

therefore, the y-intercept is 2
