Answer:

Slope m=-5 Y intercept=4 (-5,4)

Explanation:

To get the slope you will need Rise over Run. 5/1 which is slope

which will make x=0 and y=4 which is y intercept.

Answer: Explanation:The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+bWhere m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.We can subtract 5x from each side of the equation to put the equation in slope intercept form while keeping the equation balanced:−5x+5x+y=−5x+40+y=−5x+4y=−5x+4Therefore:The slope is: m=−5The y-intercept is: b=4 or (0,4)
