Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= \frac{5}{4}x+1}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation of a line and asked to put it into slope-intercept form.
Slope-intercept form is:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
Where:
In order to put the equation into slope-intercept form, we have to isolate the variable y by performing the inverse operation.
[tex]5x-4y= -4[/tex]
5x is being added to -4y. The inverse of addition is subtraction, so subtract 5x from both sides of the equation.
[tex]5x-5x-4y=-4-5x[/tex]
[tex]-4y=-4-5x[/tex]
The variable y is being multiplied by -4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by -4.
[tex]\frac {-4y}{-4}=\frac{-4-5x}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]y= \frac{-4}{-4}+\frac{-5x}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]y=1+\frac{5}{4}x[/tex]
Rearrange the equation.
[tex]y= \frac{5}{4}x+1[/tex]
The fractions are completely simplified, so this is our final answer.
The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is [tex]\bold {y= \frac{5}{4}x+1}}[/tex].
The slope is 5/4 and the y-intercept is 1.
