y=mx+b
-6=4/5*4+b
-6=20/4+b
-6-5=b
b=-11
--------------
y=4/5x-11

**
standard form of an equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given problem:
y =4x/5+b
solve for b using coordinates of given point (4,-6)
-6=4*4/5+b
-6=16/5+b
-30=16+5b
5b=-46
b=-46/5
equation:
y=4x/5-46/5
