<h2>Answer:</h2>

The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular height of the apex above the base. Apex is the pin point above the pyramid, where all the triangular faces join.

The slant height of a pyramid is defined as the distance measured along a lateral face of the pyramid from the base to the apex along the center of the face.

The slant height is found by using the Pythagorean theorem where the slant height is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

The given equation is

$3x+4y=8$

And we have to solve for y.

Solving for y, means isolating y . And to isolate y, we need to get rid of 4 that is with y .

It means we have to separate 4 from y, and for separation , we have to perform division. That is, we have to divide both sides by 4, and that will be the next step .

So out of the four options, correct option is the last option .
