Answer:
2x -3y = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
For the two points (8, -1) and (2, -5), the two-point form of the equation of a line is ...
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (-5-(-1))/(2 -8)(x -8) +(-1)
y = -4/-6(x -8) -1
3y = 2x -16 -3 . . . . multiply by 3
2x -3y = 19 . . . . . . rearrange to standard form
__
The point-slope form is y +1 = 2/3(x -8). It helps to have all the numbers.
