Answer:

4x + y = 7

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is: ax + by = c

That means that we have to transform our equation into that form.

The original equation is: y + 5 = -4(x-3)

and we solve it:

y + 5 = -4x + 12

We move -4x to the left so its sign be possitive

4x +y +5 = 12, we move +5 to the right

4x + y = 12 - 5 , and we simplify

4x + y = 7
