Answer:

the slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

20x -4y = 40

Subtract 20x from each side

20x-20x -4y = -20x +40

-4y = -20x+40

Divide each side by -4

-4y/-4 = -20x/-4 +40/-4

y = 5x -10

This is in slope intercept form  y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 5

Solve for y:

20x - 4y = 40

Subtract 20x to both sides

-4y = 40 - 20x

Divide -4 to everything

y = -10 + 5x

Therefore, the slope is 5

Best of Luck!
