Answer:

5x + 4y - 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the two points given: (0,5) and (4,0)

2. Find the slope of the line:

      m = [tex]\frac{5-0}{0-4} = \frac{-5}{4}[/tex]

3. Find y intercept by plugging in one point into the y-intercept form

      y = (-5/4) x + b

      0 = (-5/4) (4) + b

      b = 5

4. Write out the equation in y-intercept form

      y = (-5/4) x + 5

5. Rewrite it in Ax + By + C = 0 form

        (5/4) x + y - 5 = 0

6. Since A B C all need to be integers, multiply the whole equation by 4

       5x + 4y - 20 = 0
