The given equation is


y-4=5(x+1)

To write the equation in standard form, first, we have to use the distributive property.


y-4=5x+5

Now, we subtract 5x and 5 on both sides.


\begin{gathered} y-4-5x-5=5x+5-5x-5 \\ -5x+y-9=0 \end{gathered}

Now, we add 9 on each side


\begin{gathered} -5x+y-9+9=0+9 \\ -5x+y=9 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the standard form of the given equation is


-5x+y=9

Where A = -5, B = 1, and C = 9.
