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
