1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to graph the linear equation 4x+5y=204x + 5y = 20 on the given coordinate plane. We are given that the slope m=4/5m = -4/5 and the y-intercept b=4b = 4.

2. Solution Steps

To graph the equation, we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, which is y=mx+by = mx + b. We already have the slope m=4/5m = -4/5 and the y-intercept b=4b = 4.
Thus, the equation can be written as y=(4/5)x+4y = (-4/5)x + 4.
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is (0,4)(0, 4).
To find another point on the line, we can use the slope. The slope is 4/5-4/5, which means for every 5 units we move to the right (increase in x), we move 4 units down (decrease in y).
Starting from the y-intercept (0,4)(0, 4), we can move 5 units to the right to x=5x = 5. The corresponding y value would be 4+(4/5)(5)=44=04 + (-4/5)(5) = 4 - 4 = 0. So, another point on the line is (5,0)(5, 0), which is the x-intercept.
Now we have two points (0,4)(0, 4) and (5,0)(5, 0).
Plot the points (0,4)(0, 4) and (5,0)(5, 0) on the coordinate plane and draw a line that passes through both points.

3. Final Answer

The line is shown on the graph by plotting (0,4)(0, 4) and (5,0)(5, 0) and drawing a line through them.
The line passes through the points (0,4) and (5,0).
