10y - 5x = 40 Add 5x to both sides
10y = 5x + 40 Divide both sides by 10
y = [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]x + 4
The y-intercept is 4 and the slope of the line is [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex].
You can find these by comparing your equation to the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
