Answer:

In point slope form, this is y = (-5/2)x + 2. In standard form, it's (5/2)x + y = 2.

Explanation:

y-6=-5/2 (x+4) has already been written in point-slope form. The slope of the line is -5/2 and the point on the line is (-4,6).

In slope-intercept form: add 6 to both sides of the original equation, obtaining y = 6 - (5/2)(x + 4), or y = 2 - (5/2)x, or y = (-5/2)x + 2
