    20x+4y=4

    4y=-20x+4

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

    y=-5x+4

    The slope is -5x and the y-intercept is 4

    First you have to change it to slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

    m=slope & b=y-intecept

    20x+4y=4

    4y=-20x+4

    y=-5x+1

    so the slope is -5 & the y-intercept is (0, 1)

    divide by 4

    y = 1- 5x

    y(0) = 1

    dy/dx = -5
