You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=mx+b is the slope intercept form so put your equation into this form.
8x=5y%2B25
5y=8x-25
y=%288%2F5%29x-5 m=slope
SO the slope is 8/5.
The y-intercept is where x=0 so plug in 0 for x and solve for y.
y=%288%2F5%29%280%29-5
y=-5 So the y intercept is at (0,-5).
