So we have

$$\large 5x + 4y = -3$$

if we name this look like

$$\large y = mx + b$$ we would see that 'm' is the slope

so lets subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

$$\large 4y = -5x - 3$$

And we want 'y' alone so we need to divide everything by 4

$$\large y = -\frac{5}{4}x - \frac{3}{4}$$

looks like the slope is -5/4
