Answer:

y ≤
(7)/(4)x - 5

Explanation:

We are to put the linear inequality;

7x - 4y ≥ 20

in slope intercept form.

We can rearrange the inequality as;

-4y ≥ - 7x + 20

Dividing throughout by -4 we get;

y ≤
(7)/(4) x - 5

Note that the inequality sign '≥' changes to '≤' since we divided all through with a negative number.
