4x-y=-23

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"

"given "y-7=4(x+4)

"distribute and rearrange into this form"

y-7=4x+16

rArr-7-16=4x-y

rArr4x-y=-23larrcolor(red)"in standard form"
