Explanation:

4x - y = 5

You need to convert this equation to point intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

4x - y = 5

subtract 4x from both sides:

4x - y - 4x = 5 - 4x

-y = 5 - 4x

divide both sides by -1:

(-y)/-1 = (5 - 4x)/-1

y = -5 + 4x

rearrange right side:

y = 4x - 5

Remembering that: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

slope = 4

y-intercept = -5 or (0 , -5)
