Hi

***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29P(4,0)

    y - 0 = 5(x-4)

     y = 5x-20

        5x - y = 20  Standard Form

Standard form ax + by = c


When given a point (x1,y1) and the slope (m), start with the point slope form:


y-y1 = m(x-x1) ---> y - 0 = 5(x-4)


y = 5x - 20


5x -y = 20 is the standard form with a=5, b=-1 and c=20.
