The general form that you are trying to get to resembles y = ax + b, where a is the slope of your line and b is the y-intercept. Assuming your equation looks something like

2x + 4y + 2 = 3y + 5

you'll move all of the y's to the left side of the equation, so subtract 3y from 4y to get

2x + y + 2 = 5

Then move everything else to the right side of the equation, so subtract the 2 from the 5 and the 2x, resulting in

y = -2x + 3

The slope (a) is -2 and the y-intercept (b) is 3.
