Given parameters:

 Find the slope of the line;

                         -5x + 4y  =  -16

To find the slope of this line, we must express it in linear form according to the equation below;

                        y  = mx + c

Where x and y are the coordinates

                m is the slope

                c is the intercept

 Now let us write the given equation in this form;

                      -5x + 4y  =  -16

                    Take add +5x to both sides;

                    -5x + 4y + 5x  = 5x - 16

                              4y  = 5x - 16

  Now, divide through by 4;

                         [tex]\frac{4y}{4}[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{5x}{4}[/tex]  - [tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex]

                        y  = [tex]\frac{5x}{4} - 4[/tex]

So the slope of the line is [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
