FInd the slope and y intercept of the function below. 4x-5y=16

Question

find the slope and y intercept of the function below.

4x-5y=16

Answer 1

The "slope-intercept" equation format is Y = mX + b, where m is the slope, and b is the Y-intercept (The value of Y when X = 0)

4X - 5Y = 16

rearrange to match the format:

-5Y = -4X - 16

divide by 5:

-Y = -4X/5 - 16/5

multiply by -1:

Y = 4X/5 + 16/5

So: m is 4/5 and b is 16/5
