y - mx+b
so this means
y = 4x + (-5)
OpenStudy (chaise):
I assume you mean point-slope formula.
Point slope formula is: y = mx +b.
Your equation is already in this standard form.
OpenStudy (a_clan):
ax+by+c=0
is the standard form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so would it be 4x-y=5
OpenStudy (a_clan):
all variables and constants on the left hand side

and right hand side is zero
OpenStudy (a_clan):
4x -y-5=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i add 5 to both sides
OpenStudy (a_clan):
4x-y=5 is also the standard form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok..so my slope is 4?

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so i know my slope is 4 my y intercept is 4 and my x intercept is -5 so i know i have 2 points that i can graph my x and y...so how do i find the other points
OpenStudy (a_clan):
no
y-intercept is -5 and x-intercept is 1/4
OpenStudy (a_clan):
for y-intercept, you have to convert your equation in the form
y=mx+c
for x-intercept, you have to convert your equation in the form
x=my+c
OpenStudy (a_clan):
and once you have x and y intercept, you don't need two points to plot your graph.

so if i have x and y those are the only points i need
