2y - 5x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of a line is expressed as y = mx+c
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept of the line
Given
Slope m = 5/2
Get the intercept c
Substitute m = 5/2 and the point (0, -4) into the expression y = mx+c
-4 = 5/2(0) + c
-4 = c
c = -4
Get the required equation;
y = 5/2 x - 4
Multiply through by 2;
2y = 5x - 8
2y - 5x = -8
This gives the required equation
