The answer is y = -4/5x + 4.

We know the general form for slope intercept form is :

y = mx + c

The given equation is in standard form.

4x + 5y = 20

Bring 4x to the other side by subtracting 4x on both sides.

4x + 5y - 4x = 20 - 4x

5y = -4x + 20

Divide 5 on both sides to isolate the variable y.

5y x 1/5 = 1/5 x (-4x + 20)

y = -4/5x + 4
