#4x+y=5#

Explanation:

The equation of a line in #color(blue)"standard form"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(Ax+By=C)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where A is a positive integer and B,C are integers.

#"Rearrange " y=-4x+5" into this form"#

add 4x to both sides.

#4x+y=cancel(-4x)cancel(+4x)+5#

#rArr4x+y=5larr" in standard form"#
