First you must rearrange the formula given into the all too familiar y=mx+b form
-5x+4y=-16
4y=5x-16
Now we need y by itself, so we divide all terms by the coefficient, in this case 4
y=(5/4)x-4
From this equation we can see that slope is equal to 5/4, or 1 1/4

If 8x + 4y = 16, then y = - 2x + 4 Thus the slope is -2 and the intercept is 4.
If: 3x-4y-16 = 0 Then: -4y = -3x+16 And: y = 0.75x-4 which is now in slope-intercept form So the slope is 3/4 or 0.75
It is:- 3x+4y = 8 4y = -3x+8 y = -0.75x+2 So the slope is -0.75 and the y intercept is 2
Y=3x-4
5x+4y = 20 4y = -5x+20 y = -5/4x+5 Therefore: slope is -5/4 and intercept is 5
