Answer

Slope(m) = -1/5 y - intercept = (0, 4)

Work Step by Step

The slope can be found by setting the equation equal to y, and following the y = mx + b format. y = -1/5x + 4. Now the equation is in that form, we can extract the slope,-1/5, and plug in 0 for the x - value to find the intercept which is 4.
