To convert the equation 8x - 5y = -40 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you need to solve for y. First, isolate y by subtracting 8x from both sides to get -5y = -8x - 40. Then, divide by -5 to get y = 8/5x + 8, which is the slope-intercept form of the equation. The slope is 8/5 and the y-intercept is 8.

8x-5y = -40

-5y = -8x-40

y = 1.6x+8 which is now in slope intercept form
