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"#
