Answer:
2x - 5y = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be written as
(y - y1) = m(x - x1), where the coordinates are (x1,y1) and gradient is m.
Hence by applying this formula, we get:
y - 1 = 2/5 (x + 4)
5y - 5 = 2(x + 4) (Multiply both sides by 5)
5y - 5 = 2x + 8 (Expand the Right Hand Side)
5y - 2x = 13 (Bring the variables to one side)
2x - 5y = -13 (Multiply both sides by -1)
Hence Answer is 2x - 5y = -13
