What is the standard form when your ordered pairs are (4,5) and your slope is 5/4?

The slope (m) and the ordered pairs are given.
In order to arrive at the standard form : AX + BY = C, we need to form the slope-intercept form first : y = mx + b

Substitute the values in order to get the intercept (b)
y = mx + b
5 = 5/4 * 4 + b
5 = 5 + b
b = 0

So given the m = 5/4, b = 0
y = mx + b
y = 5/4x+ 0

Converting it to Standard Form
y = 5/4x + 0
5/4x - y = 0 (multiply both sides by 4)
5x - 4y = 0

So the Standard form is 5x - 4y = 0
