Answer:

gradient =
(5)/(4)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the y- intercept )

Given

4y - 5x = 2 ( add 5x to both sides )

4y = 5x + 2 ( divide the terms by 4 )

y =
(5)/(4) x +
(1)/(2) ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient m =
(5)/(4)
