a. Choose the correct equation for the line in point-slope form.
b. What is the equation rewritten in standard form?

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?

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

this will give you the slope

anonymous · Answer

and then (y-y1) = slope*(x-x1)

where slope is as said by @sjerman1

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Thanks!

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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