Slope: #-1#
Y intercept: #4#

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation so that it is written in slope intercept form:

#y=mx+b#

Where #m# is the slope and #b# is the y intercept

#2x+2y=8#

Begin to isolate #y# by subtracting #2x# on both sides of the equation

#2y=-2x+8#

Isolate #y# by dividing both sides of the equation by @2@

#y=-x+4#

Where the slope is #-1# and the y intercept is #4#
