Find the slope and y intercept of the graph of the eqation5x+8y=16 I tried canceling out 5x so i subtracted 5x from 5x and 16 so that will be 8y+16-5x I do not know what to do after that

\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope and y intercept of the graph of the equation 5x + 8y = 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Great start!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have 8y = 16 - 5x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then you want eliminate \"8\" on the left side by dividing both sides by 8:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8y/8 = 16/8 - (5/8)x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 2 - (5/8)x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You know the slope-intercept formula is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can find them from the equation y = (-5/8)x + 2.\r
