Question

Write the equation of 4x+5t=20 in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Recall that slope-intercept form is the following form:
`y=mx+b`, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To get an equation into slope-intercept form, we just need to solve for y.

We begin with the equation
`4x+5y=20`. With this, we can solve for y to get our answer.

`4x+5y=20\\\\5y=-4x+20\\\\y=-(4)/(5)x +(20)/(5) \\\\y=-(4)/(5)x +4`

Answer 2

y=(-4/5)x+4

Explanation:

4x+5y=20

5y=-4x+20

y=(-4/5)x+4
