You can put this solution on YOUR website!

you will get the slope and the y-intercept of the line 8x=5y%2B10 if you write it in slope-intercept form y=mx%2B-b where m is a slope and b is y-intercept

8x=5y%2B10......solve for y
8x-10=5y
or
5y=8x-10....both sides divide by 5
5y%2F5=8x%2F5-10%2F5
y=%288%2F5%29x-2........slope-intercept form
so, a slope is: m=%288%2F5%29 and y-intercept is b=-2
