A graph of the linear equation 5y-20x=-20 is shown on the coordinate plane in the image attached below.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given by this mathematical equation;

y = mx + b

Where:

  • m represent the slope or rate of change.
  • x and y are the points.
  • b represent the y-intercept or initial value.

Since the given linear function 5y-20x=-20 is in standard form, we would rewrite it in slope-intercept form and then start by plotting the y-intercept:

5y = 20x - 20

y = 4x - 4

y = 4(0) - 4

y = -4

Next, we would use an online graphing tool to plot the given linear equation for the values in its domain using table, as shown in the graph attached below.
