To find the y-intercept, we need to set x = 0 and solve for y:

8(0) + 4y = -12
4y = -12
y = -12/4
y = -3

So the y-intercept is -3.

To find the slope, we can rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope:

8x + 4y = -12
4y = -8x - 12
y = -2x - 3

Comparing this to y = mx + b, we can see that the slope is -2.
