y+%2B+6+=+-5%2F2+%28x+%2B+4%29
to rewrite it in general form Ax+%2B+By+%2B+C+=0, you need:
y+%2B+6+=+-5%2F2+%28x+%2B+4%29...first multiply -5%2F2+%28x+%2B+4%29
y+%2B+6+=+-%285%2F2%29x+-%285%2F2%294%29
y+%2B+6+=+-5x%2F2+-20%2F2....both sides multiply by 2
2y+%2B+12+=+-5x+-20......move -5x+-20 to the left
2y+%2B+12+%2B5x+%2B20=0...rearrange
5x%2B2y+%2B+32=0
