Question 83877: What is the slope and y intercept of the line?
5y - 4x = -31

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5y+-+4x+=+-31++ Start with the given equation
5y++=+-31+%2B+4x+ Add 4x to both sides
y++=+-31%2F5+%2B+%284%2F5%29x+ Divide both sides by 5

So the equation is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=4%2F5 and the y intercept is (0,-31%2F5)
