Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope of the equation 5y-20 = 2x
5y = 2x +20
y = (2/5)x + 4
slope of this line is 2/5
This means that the slope of the other line is -5/2
point (-4, 0)
y-0 = (-5/2)(x+4)
distribute
[tex]y = \frac{-5}{2} x + (-20/2)[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{-5}{2} x - 10[/tex]
^^This is the slope intercept form
(5/2)x + y + 10 = 0 --> general form
- you could multiply by 2 to get rid of fraction but I don't know if you need to do that.
If you did multiply by 2 you would get 5x + 2y + 20 = 0.
