Answer:

x - 4y = -4

Explanation:

Equation of line in x-intercept and y-intercept form:

$\sf \boxed{(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1}$

Here a is x-intercept and b is y-intercept.

a = -4 & b = 1

$\sf (x)/(-4)+(y)/(1)=1\\\\\text{Mutiply the entire equation by (-4)},\\\\(-4)*(x)/(-4) + (-4)*(y)/(1)=1*(-4)\\\\\\x - 4y = -4$

Equation of line in standard form:

x - 4y = -4
