Question

A line passes through (2, –1) and (8, 4).
a. Choose the correct equation for the line in point-slope form.
b. What is the equation rewritten in standard form?

Answer 1

use the formula\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

Answer 2

this will give you the slope

Answer 3

and then (y-y1) = slope*(x-x1)

where slope is as said by @sjerman1

Answer 4

good job @SandeepReddy
that is correct @_kaaroo you use the formula that @SandeepReddy gave after you find out the slope

Answer 5

Thanks!

Answer 6

y-1=5/6 (x-2); -5x + 6y = 16 @sjerman1

Answer 7

well you need to put it into point slope form which is y=mx+b but good job so far
