Standard form of the given equation is

#color(violet)(2x + 5y = -4#

Point #(x_1,y_1) = (-2,0), m -= -(2/5)#

Point-Slope form of equation is

#(y - y_1) = m * (x- x_1)#

#y - 0 = -(2/5) * (x + 2)#

#y = -(2/5)x - (4/5)#

Converting it into Standard form of # ax + by = c#

#5y = -2x - 4#

#color(violet)(2x + 5y = -4#
