To find the slope and y-intercept, we first rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

Starting with:
  5x - y = 4

Isolate y by subtracting 5x from both sides:
  -y = 4 - 5x

Multiply both sides by -1:
  y = 5x - 4

Now the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where:
  m (slope) = 5
  b (y-intercept) = -4

Thus, the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is -4.
The slope $$ m $$ is 5 and the y-intercept $$ b $$ is -4.

Find the slope \( m \) and the \( y \)-intercept \( b \) of the line whose equation is given. \( 5 x-y=4 \)
