Answer:

slope = -3/5

y intercept = 4/5

Explanation:

First, we can rearrange 3x + 5y = 4 into slope intercept form (y = mx + b) to get 5y = -3x + 4. Now we can divide by 5 to make y the subject: y = -3/5x + 4/5. The number in front of x is the slope and the number on its own is the y intercept.

slope = -3/5

y intercept = 4/5

Hope this helps!
