STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION
What to find?
• Slope
,• Y-intercept
Given:
-5x - y = -4
To solve the given problem, we will follow the steps below:
Step 1
Recall the general slope-intercept form of the line equation.
[tex]y=mx+\text{ b}[/tex]Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Step 2
Write the equation given in the slope -intercept form.
[tex]\begin{gathered} -5x-y=-4 \\ \\ y=-5x+4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3
Compare the resultant equation in step 3 with the general equation in step 1
Observe that m=-5 and b=4
Therefore, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is 4
