Arrange in slope intercept form: y = mx + b
...
4y = -5x + 23
...
Divide both sides by 4
y =

1. Solve the equation for y to get it in the 
form  y = mx+b.

5x + 4y = 23 

Add -5x to both sides:

     4y = -5x + 23

Divide each number by 4

    y = x + 

             y = x + 

2. Compare that to

             y = mx + b

Then m =  and b = 

That means the slope is  and the y-intercept is 
the point (0,), where the graph (which is a line)
crosses the y-axis.

Hi,

Use the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b

  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

5x+4y=23   0r  y = (-5/4)x + 23/4   || m = -5/4  and 23/4 the y-intercept
