1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the slope mm and yy-intercept bb of the line given by the equation 4x+5y=204x + 5y = 20. The correct answers have already been provided as m=45m = -\frac{4}{5} and b=4b = 4.

2. Solution Steps

To find the slope and yy-intercept of the line 4x+5y=204x + 5y = 20, we can rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the yy-intercept.
Subtract 4x4x from both sides of the equation:
5y=4x+205y = -4x + 20
Divide both sides by 5:
y=45x+205y = -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{20}{5}
y=45x+4y = -\frac{4}{5}x + 4
Now, we can identify the slope and yy-intercept.
The slope is m=45m = -\frac{4}{5}.
The yy-intercept is b=4b = 4.

3. Final Answer

m=45m = -\frac{4}{5}
b=4b = 4
