Question:

what is the slope and y intercept of 5x-4y=20

Answer:
First of all rewrite the given equation into the standard slope intercept form of a line, that is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the slope of the equation.

5x - 4y = 20
Subtract 5x from both sides.

==> 5x - 4y - 5x = 20 - 5x


==> -4y = 20 - 5x


Divide both sides by -4


==>


==>


Which can be written as, , which is of standard form


So, slope of the given equation is, and y intercept is


Hope you found the explanation useful.
