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 "5x+4y=-2" into this form"#
#"subtract "5x" from both sides"#
#4y=-5x-2#
#"divide all terms by 4"#
#y=-5/4x-1/2larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-5/4#
