Find the Slope and y-intercept y=5-4x

$y = 5 - 4 x$

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.

$y = m x + b$

Reorder $5$ and $- 4 x$ .

$y = - 4 x + 5$

Step 2

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

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

$m = - 4$

$b = 5$

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

Slope: $- 4$

y-intercept: $(0, 5)$

Slope: $- 4$

y-intercept: $(0, 5)$
