See the explanation

$8y-2x=-4$

Convert it in the form of $y=mx+c$

Here , $m$ is the slope of the line and $c$ is the $y$ -intercept.

$=> 8y=2x-4$

Divide by $2$ both sides

$=> 4y=x-2$

$=> y=1/4 x -2/4$

$=> y=1/4 x -1/2$

On equating with $y=mx+c$

$=> m=1/4 ("Slope")$

$=> c=-1/2 (y-"intercept")$
