Hey there!

Answer =
(-1)/(2)y+ (5)/(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

4x + 2y = 5

Add -2y to both sides:

4x + 2y + -2y = 5 + -2y

4x = -2y + 5

Divide both sides by 4:


(4x)/(4)=(-2y+5)/(4)\\\\x=(-1)/(2)y+(5)/(4)

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
y=mx+b

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run.


(rise)/(run)


m=(rise)/(run)


m=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)

But the slope is -2.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
