Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line. −5x-4y=−20 Write your answers in simplest form.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

-5x - 4y = -20 Add 5x to both sides of the equation

-4y = 5x -20 Divide both sides by -4

y =
`(-5)/(4)` x -
`(20)/(-4)`

y =
`(-5)/(4)` x - -5

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