Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "8x-5y=4" into this form"#
#"subtract "8x" from both sides "#
#-5y=-8x+4#
#"divide all terms by "-5#
#rArry=8/5x-4/5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=8/5#
