#5x+4y=-24#

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=-5/4x-6" into this form"#

#"multiply all terms by 4"#

#rArr4y=-5x-24#

#"add 5x to both sides"#

#5x+4y=cancel(-5x)cancel(+5x)-24#

#rArr5x+4y=-24larrcolor(red)"in standard form"#
