Find the Slope and y-intercept -4x+3y+5=0

$- 4 x + 3 y + 5 = 0$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $4 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 y + 5 = 4 x$

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 4 x - 5$

Divide each term in $3 y = 4 x - 5$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 4 x - 5$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{4 x}{3} + \frac{- 5}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{4 x}{3} + \frac{- 5}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{4 x}{3} + \frac{- 5}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = \frac{4 x}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{4}{3} x - \frac{5}{3}$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = \frac{4}{3}$

$b = - \frac{5}{3}$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $\frac{4}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{5}{3})$

Slope: $\frac{4}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - \frac{5}{3})$
