Answer:

y = 2 - 5/4x

or

y = 2 - 1.25x

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept. Let's make this equation look more like that by isolating y on one side.

5x + 4y = 8

Subtract 5x from both sides.

4y = 8 - 5x

Divide both sides by 4.

y = 8/4 - 5/4x

y = 2 - 5/4x
