Answer:

Ax + By = C

5x + 4y = -20

a is 5, b is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope:

  m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

      = (0 - (-5)) / (-4 - 0)

     = 5 / -4

  m = -5/4

Use m above and anyone point to find y-intercept, let's use (-4, 0):

  y = mx + b

  0 = -5/4(-4) + b

  0 = 5 + b

  b = -5

Slope intercept form using m and b from above:

  y = mx + b

  y = -5/4x - 5

Standard form Ax + By = C:

  y = -5/4x - 5

  5/4x + y = -5

  5x + 4y = -20
