Answer:

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

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

given the equation

10x + 4y = 16 ( subtract 10x from both sides )

4y = - 10x + 16 ( divide through by 4 )

(4)/(4) y = -
(10)/(4) x +
(16)/(4) , that is

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