You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First get your equation in y = mx + b form.
5y - 4x + 3 = 0 [add 4x and subtract 3 from both sides]
5y = 4x - 3 (now divide 5 from both sides)
y = (4/5)x - (3/5)
Now our line is in the proper forma, y = mx + b
m represents the slope of a line and b represents the y-intercept
Therefore our slope is (4/5)
