Answer:

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 4x from both sides:

4x (-4x) - 5y = 2 (-4x)

-5y = -4x + 2

Next, divide -5 from both sides:

(-5y)/-5 = (-4x + 2)/-5

y = (4/5)x - (2/5)


y = (4)/(5)x - (2)/(5) is your answer.
