Answer:

4y-5x-44=0

Explanation:

It passes through one point with the formula being

y-y1=m(x-x1)

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

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

cross multiply

4(y-6)=5(x+4)

4y-24=5x+20

collect like terms

4y-5x=20+24

4y-5x=44

4y-5x-44=0

Answer:

Explanation:

I will ASSUME you want an equation

In slope/intercept form it is

6 = (5/4)(-4) + b

b = 11

y = (5/4)x + 11

or in slope/point form is

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