Without graphing, identify the slope and the y-intercept for the line associated with each equation or table of values 5x+20y=60
------------
Put it into slope-intercept form, which means solve for y.
5x+20y=60
x+4y = 12
4y = -x + 12
y = (-1/4)x + 4
That's the form, y = mx + b
m is the slope, = -1/4.
b is the y-intercept, = +4, or (0,4)
That's all there is to it.
