See a solution process below:
Explanation:
First, put this equation in the slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:
Where
Therefore,
- The slope is:
color(red)(m = 1/4) - The
y -intercept is:color(blue)(b = 5) or(0, color(blue)(5))

Explanation:
"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form" is.
•color(white)(x)y=mx+b
"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"
"rearrange "-5+y=1/4x" into this form"
"add 5 to both sides"
y=1/4x+5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"
"with slope "=1/4" and y-intercept "=5
