2y+5x-8 = 0
2y = -5x+8
y = -5x/2+4
Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx+b. In this m is the slope and b the y-intercept. So, our y-intercept is:
y-intercept: (0, 4)
It also gives us our slope: m = -5/2
All we need now is to find the x-intercept, our 2nd point in order to be able to graph the line:
x-intercept:(2, -5+4); (2, -1)
Now you can graph your ordered pair: (0, 4) (2, -1)
and your slope is -5/2
