Slope intercepr form line eqyation is y =mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The line equation is 4x - 3y = -7

Subtract 4x from each side

-3y = -4x - 7

Divide each side by -3

y = 4/3x + 7/3

Option e is correct choice

Slope intercepr form line eqyation is y =mx + b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The line equation is - 4x - 3y = -5

Add 4x to each side

-3y = 4x - 5

Divide each side by -3

y = -4/3x + 5/3

Compare the equatioon with slope-intercept form equation.

slope = -4/3

and y-intercept = b = 5/3 = (0, 5/3)

Option d is right choice
