In general, slope form of a linear equation is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope.
We must write your equation in the form given above.
4x + 5y = 3
The goal is to isolate y on the left side.
Begin by subtracting 4x from both sides.
4x minus 4x + 5y = -4x + 3
5y = -4x + 3
Lastly, divide both sides by 5 to isolate y.
y = -(4/5)x + 3/5
Can you see the slope?
It is the number next to x.
The slope is -4/5.
