slope = -4, x-intercept = 2, y-intercept = 8

Explanation:

#y + 4x = 8# => write in slope-intercept form of:
#y=mx+b# , where m = slope, b = the y-intercept:
so in this case:
#y = -4x + 8# => slope = -4 , the y-intercept = 8
to find the x-intercept set y to zero and solve for x:
#0=-4x+8#
#4x=8#
#x=2# => the x-intercept
