5x + 4y - 8 = 0

Alright, we want to get this in y = mx + b form

subtract 4y from each side

-4y = 5x - 8

divide each side by -4

y = -0.8x + 2

in y = mx + b form, b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

m directly affects x, while b moves it up and down the y-axis about the origin

therefore, in this problem the slope is -0.8

Which is the slope of a line parallel to the line 5X-4y equals 9?

To answer this question we need to first get the slope of the line 5x-4y=9 by rearranging it in the form of y=mx+b: 5x-4y=9 4y=5x-9 y=(5/4)x-9/4 Since the slope of parallel lines are negative reciprocals of each other, the negative reciprocal of 5/4 is -4/5, therefore the slope of a line parallel to the line 5x-4y=9 is -4/5
