For the linear equation 5x+4y=16, express y in terms of x.

y = - 5/4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To express y in terms of x, we need the equation to be y = ...

To do this, we must solve for/isolate the variable, y

5x+4y=16

Subtract 5x from both sides

4y = - 5x + 16

Divide both sides by 4

y = - 5/4x + 4
