The key is to isolate $y$ on one side so the equation matches the form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Rearrange by moving the $x$ term to the right, then divide everything by the coefficient of $y$ to solve for $y$ alone. This reveals both the slope and where the line crosses the y-axis in one clean expression.
