How do you find the slope and intercept of #4(x-5y)=9(x+1)#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope-Intercept Form 1 Answer Dean R. May 9, 2018 Simplifying, #y = -1/4 x + -9/20 # We read off a slope of #-1/4# and a y intercept of #-9/20.# Explanation: #4(x-5y)=9(x+1)# #4x - 20 y = 9x + 9 # #-20 y = 5x + 9# #y = -5/20 x + -9/20 # #y = -1/4 x + -9/20 # We read off a slope of #-1/4# and a y intercept of #-9/20.# Answer link Related questions What is Slope-Intercept Form?
