5x - 4y = 18
Algebraically rearrange into the straight form ' y = mx + c'.
Where 'm' is ther slope/gradient and 'c' is the y-intercept.
4y = 5x - 18
Divide both sides by '4'
y = (5/4)x - 18/4
y = (5/4)x + 9/2 ( 4 1/2 = 4.5)
So the slope is '5/4' and the y-intercept is 18/4 = 9/2 = 4 1/2 = 4/5 ( depending on how you have drawn the y-axis.

What is the y-intercept for 5x-4y equals 18?
Transform the equation into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b. The intercept is b. 5x - 4y = 18 -4y = 18 - 5x 4y = 5x - 18 y = 5x/4 - 18/4 so the y-intercept is -18/4 or -4.5
What is the xintercept for 5x - 4y equals 18?
To find the x-intercept for 5x - 4y = 18, plug in a 0 for the y value and solve for x. 5x - 4(0) = 18 5x = 18 x = 18/5 or 3.6 The line will hit the x-axis at (3.6,0)
What is the ordered pair of 5x equals 4y equals -20?
5x=4y=-20 x=-4 y=-5 (-4,-5) is the ordered pair
What is the slope of the line -5x - 4y equals 6?
-5x-4y = 6 -4y = 5x+6 Divide all terms by -4 y = -1.25x-1.5 Slope = -1.25 and intercept = -1.5
What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of 5x subtract 4y equals 1?
y-intercept: -1/4 x-intercept: 1/5 5x-4y=1 -4y=-5x+1 y=5/4x+1/-4 5x-4y=1 5x=4y+1 x=4/5y+1/5
What is the y-intercept for 5x-4y equals 18?
Transform the equation into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b. The intercept is b. 5x - 4y = 18 -4y = 18 - 5x 4y = 5x - 18 y = 5x/4 - 18/4 so the y-intercept is -18/4 or -4.5
What is the xintercept for 5x - 4y equals 18?
To find the x-intercept for 5x - 4y = 18, plug in a 0 for the y value and solve for x. 5x - 4(0) = 18 5x = 18 x = 18/5 or 3.6 The line will hit the x-axis at (3.6,0)
What is the y-intercept for this linear equation 5x - 4y equals 18?
-4y=-5x+18 is the same equation. Now divide both sides by -4 and you find the y intercept is -18/4 or -9/2
Write an equation of a line parallel to 5x-4y equals 8?
5x-4y=8
Slope of 5x plus 4y equals 20?
5x + 4y = 204y = -5x + 20y = (-5/4)x + 5
-2x-4y plus 5x-7y equals?
Combine like terms: -2x - 4y + 5x - 7y = 3x - 11y -2x + 5x = 3x -4y + -7y = -11y
What is the ordered pair of 5x equals 4y equals -20?
5x=4y=-20 x=-4 y=-5 (-4,-5) is the ordered pair
What is the slope of the equation 5x plus 4y equals negative 3?
5x+4y = -3 4y = -5x-3 y = -5/4 x - 3 Slope is -5/4.
What is the slope of the line -5x - 4y equals 6?
-5x-4y = 6 -4y = 5x+6 Divide all terms by -4 y = -1.25x-1.5 Slope = -1.25 and intercept = -1.5
5x-4y equals -41 4x plus 35 equals?
5x - 4y = -41 => 5x = 4y - 41 => x = (4y - 41)/5 Then 4x + 35 = 4*[(4y - 41)/5] + 35 = 16y/5 - 164/5 + 35 = 16y/5 -11/5 or (16y - 11)/5
What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of 5x subtract 4y equals 1?
y-intercept: -1/4 x-intercept: 1/5 5x-4y=1 -4y=-5x+1 y=5/4x+1/-4 5x-4y=1 5x=4y+1 x=4/5y+1/5
5x - y equals 27 5x plus 4y equals 42?
27 + y = 42 - 4y so 5y = 15 making y = 3 and x = 6
