Question 479878: The question says to write the standard form of the equation of the line described: perpendicular to 5y= 4x+2, x intercept 5
I understand how to get the inverse slope, and how to change it from standard to y-intercept form and back again, but how do I find the y intercept for this one?

you know the slope (m), so just substitute the known point [x-intercept at (5,0)] to find the constant term (b)
