Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
5x+y=-4
To put the equation of a line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation: 5x + y = -4
To isolate y, we need to move the term containing x to the other side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:
y = -5x - 4
Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, with the slope (m) being -5 and the y-intercept (b) being -4.
