See the entire explanation below:

Explanation:

Because both points have the same #y# term of #4# these points define a horizontal line. A horizontal line has the form: #y = a# where #a# is the #y# value for all points of the line.

Therefore, the equation for this line is #y = 4#

The standard form of a linear equation is: #color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)#

Where, if at all possible, #color(red)(A)#, #color(blue)(B)#, and #color(green)(C)#are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

Therefore, the standard form of the equation for this line is:

#color(red)(0)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(4)#
