Answer:

y = (5/4)x + 3/4

Explanation:

You are given 5x - 4y = -3 and are asked to rewrite it in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Start by subtracting 5x from both sides. This leaves you with -4y on the left and -3 - 5x on the right: -4y = -3 - 5x.

Next, divide both sides by -4 to isolate y:

-3 - 5x

y = -------------- This can be rewritten as y = (5/4)x + 3/4 (in y = mx + b form).

-4
