5x=y-4

write the equation in standard form

To make it in standard form make it equal to y

y = 5x + 4 Add 4 to both sides

(0) = 5 x - 4 0=5⁢x-4 Since x x is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation. 5 x - 4 = 0 5⁢x-4=0 Since - 4 - 4 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right side of the equation by adding 4 4 to both sides. 5 x = 4 5⁢x=4 Divide each term by 5 5 and simplify. Tap for more steps ... x = 4 5 x=45 To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 0 for x x and solve for y y. y = 5 (0) - 4 y=5⁢0-4 Solve the equation. Tap for more steps ... y = - 4 y=-4 These are the x x and y y intercepts of the equation y = 5 x - 4 y=5⁢x-4. x-intercept : (4 5, 0) 45,0 y-intercept : (0, - 4) 0,-4
