Answer: Choice C) 6x+5y = -20

You have the correct answer. Nice work.

=================================================

Work Shown:

y = (-6/5)x - 4

5y = 5*( (-6/5)x - 4 )

5y = 5*(-6/5)x - 5*4

5y = -6x - 20

6x+5y = -20

-----------

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second step, I multiplied both sides by 5 to clear out the denominator. Two steps later (step 4), we have 5*(-6/5)x turn into -6x, so the fraction goes away.

In the last step, I added 6x to both sides to get the equation into standard form Ax+By = C. In this case, A = 6, B = 5, and C = -20.
