Answer:

y = -5/4 x - 3 is the slope-intercept form

5x + 4y = -12 is the standard form

Explanation:

Use the point-slope form:
y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1))


(x_(1), y_(1)) = (-4, 2)

y - 2 = -5/4(x + 4) Multiply by 4 to remove the fraction

4y - 8 = -5(x + 4)

4y - 8 = -5x - 20

4y = -5x - 12

y = -5/4 x - 3 is the slope-intercept form

5x + 4y = -12 is the standard form
