Answer:

standard form: Ax + By = C

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

first lets put this into intercept form:

y=-5x+b

(4, 0) is the x intercept.)

To find what b is plug in the point 4, 0 for the x and y of the equation:

0=-5(4)+b

0=-20+b

20=b

b=20

Now that we have the slope, m, and the y intercept, b, we can make our equation

y=-5x+20

Now we need to transform this equation into standard form like so:

y=-5x+20

5x+y=20 - this is your answer
