Answer:

5x+4y = 52

Explanation:

We can first write the equation in point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

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

Multiply each side by 4 to get rid of the fraction

4(y - 8) = 4*(-5/4) ( x-4)

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

Distribute

4y - 32 = -5x+20

We want the equation in the form

Ax + By = C

Add 5x to each side

5x+4y -32 = -5x+5x+20

Add 32 to each side

5x+4y -32+32 =32+20

5x+4y = 52
