Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.
5x - 4y= -8
Write your answers in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:   The slope is 5/4  and the  y intercept will  be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the equation to slope intercept form ( y = mx+b)  where m will be the slope and b will be the y intercept.

5x - 4y = -8      Subtract 5x from both sides

-5x             -5x

  -4y =  -5x - 8     Divide both sides by -5

y =  5/4x  + 2
