y-6=%28-4%2F5%29%28x-5%29 Start with the given equation
y-6=%28-4%2F5%29x-%28-4%2F5%295%29 Distribute

y-6=%28-4%2F5%29x%2B4%29 Multiply

y-6%2B%284%2F5%29x=4%29 Add %284%2F5%29x to both sides


y%2B%284%2F5%29x=4%2B6%29 add 6 to both sides

y%2B%284%2F5%29x=10%29 Combine like terms

5%28y%2B%284%2F5%29x%29=5%2810%29%29Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the denominator

5y%2B4x=50%29 Distribute

4x%2B5y=50%29 Rearrange in standard form
