Answer:

(0,8)

Explanation:

so the first step is to put the equation into the intercept form: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y - 4x = 8

to get it to intercept form you have to add 4x to both sides to cancel out the -4x on the left side. That gets the equation to the correct form.

y = 4x + 8

to find the y-intercept you plug in a 0 for x and solve for the y-coordinate leaving you with 0 as the x and 8 as the y. This point ends up being (0,8)
