Answer:

3x-5y = 26

Explanation:

We have a point and a slope

Point slope form a line is given by

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--4 = 3/5 (x-2)

y+4 = 3/5( x-2)

We want it in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Distribute the 3/5

y+4 = 3/5 x-6/5

Subtract 4 from each side

y+4-4 = 3/5x -6/5 -4

Get a common denominator for the constant terms

y = 3/5x -6/5 -20/5

y = 3/5x -26/5

Multiply each side by 5

5y = 3/5x *5 -26/5 *5

5y = 3x-26

Subtract 3x from each side

-3x+5y = -26

We usually want the x term to be positive

Multiply by -1

3x-5y = 26

This is standard form for a line
