y-intercept is 4

Given: #2y=8#

Divide both sides by 2

#y=4#

Notice there are no #x# terms so write it as:

#y=0x+4#

Compare to: #y=mx+c# where #m# is the gradient and #c# is the y-intercept

#y=0x+c#
#y=0x+4#

The slope (#m#) is #0# from #0x# so it is parallel to the x-axis.

y-intercept# =c=4#
