$slope = \frac{8}{5}$ $"slope "=8/5$

Explanation:

$the equation of a line in slope-intercept form$ $"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"$ is.

$∙ x y = m x + b$ $•color(white)(x)y=mx+b$

$where m is the slope and b the y-intercept$ $"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"$

$rearrange 8 x - 5 y = 4 into this form$ $"rearrange "8x-5y=4" into this form"$

$subtract 8 x from both sides$ $"subtract "8x" from both sides "$

$- 5 y = - 8 x + 4$ $-5y=-8x+4$

$divide all terms by - 5$ $"divide all terms by "-5$

$\Rightarrow y = \frac{8}{5} x - \frac{4}{5} \leftarrow in slope-intercept form$ $rArry=8/5x-4/5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"$

$with slope = \frac{8}{5}$ $"with slope "=8/5$
