Answer: The slope is 5/4 and the y intercept will be 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First convert the equation to slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) where m will be the slope and b will be the y intercept.
5x – 4y = -8 Subtract 5x from both sides
-5x -5x
-4y = -5x – 8 Divide both sides by -5
y = 5/4x + 2
