Solve the equation for #y#.

Explanation:

#-4x+3y=21#

Add #4x# to both sides.

#3y=4x+21#

Divide both sides by #3#.

#y=4/3x+21/3#

Simplify.

#y=4/3x+7#

We know that slope-intercept form is

#y=mx+c#
where #m# is slope and #c# is intercept on #y#-axis.

Let us convert given equation #-4x+3y=21# in the above form by keeping #y# term on LHS and all taking remaining terms to RHS.
#=>3y=4x+21#
Dividing both sides by #3#, we get

#(3y)/3=(4x+21)/3#
#y=4/3x+7#
is the required form.

If we plot this equation with inbuilt graphic tool we get the following:

Slope#=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=7/5.25=7/5.25xx4/4=28/21=4/3#
Intercept on #y#axis#=7#
