Question

For the linear equation 5x+4y=16, express y in terms of x.

Answer 1

y= -5/4x +4

Explanation:

To express y in terms of x, we need the equation to be y=....

To do this, we must solve for/isolate the variable, y

5x+4y=16

Subtract 5x from both sides

4y= -5x +16

Divide both sides by 4

y= -5/4x +4
