-\frac{4}{5}x+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{4}{5}x=y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{4}{5}x}{-\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{y-1}{-\frac{4}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{4}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-1}{-\frac{4}{5}}
Dividing by -\frac{4}{5} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{4}{5}.
x=\frac{5-5y}{4}
Divide y-1 by -\frac{4}{5} by multiplying y-1 by the reciprocal of -\frac{4}{5}.
