The slope is $4/1$
The intercept is 0

The slope intercept form of a linear equation is $y=mx+b$
where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y intercept.

For the equation $y=4x$ or $y=4x+0$
the $m = 4$ and the $b=0$

Remember that the slope is the rise over the run $(rise)/(run)$ and therefore the slope for this equation would be $4/1$ .
