Answer:

The answer is A.

A graph passes through a point if its equation is equal to the coordinate of this point. In this exemple:

5x+4y=8

we replace the variables with 4 and -3 (x with 4 and y with -3):

5(4)+4(-3)=8

20-12=8

8=8 so it passes.

NOW , for the slope:

slope = - 5/4 ( the equation is 5x+4y=8 , the cartesian equation is 5x+4y-8=0. THE cartesian equation with variables is ax+by+c=0) NOW this is linked with the slope bcz the slope is linked to the director vector (-b;a) that gives (-4;5), this is the director vector's formula that we're going to call U. THEN with this formula you get the slope: Y of U / X of U = 5/-4 = - 5/4 (bcz you dont leave the denominator with a negative sign).

THAT'S it thats the answer.
