okay, I feel so stupid for forgetting how to do this...But what happens next?
It's; 4x+5y=20. I know I subtract 5 y on each sides, but what happens next?

Are you converting to slope-intercept form?

shamil98 · Answer

If so, 
4x + 5y = 20
subtract both sides by 4x
then divide both sides by 5 to get slope-intercercept form
y = mx + b

Oh, yeah.. I think the answer is y=.8x+4?
Do I do something next?

5y = -4/5 x + 4
you leave -4/5 (the slope) as it is
-4/5 = down 4 and right 5 , and up 4 left 5.
you start graphing it from (0,4)
4 is the y-intercept(b)
