The best way to do this is to solve for y in terms of x, unless you have great familiarity
working with standard form in which the equation is given.

4x+%2B5y=25
5y=-4x%2B25
y=-%284%2F5%29x%2B25%2F5
highlight_green%28y=-%284%2F5%29x%2B5%29
Corresponding to slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb,
m is slope
b is y-intercept.

ANSWER: Your equation has slope -4/5 and y-intercept 5.
