Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (8, –1) and (2, –5) in standard form, given that the point-slope form is y + 1 = (x – 8).

Ax + By = C is standard form.

y + 1 = (2/3)(x - 8)

distribute the (2/3)

y + 1 = (2/3)x - (16/3)

Multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions.

3y + 3 = 2x - 16

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-2x + 3y + 3 = - 16

Subtract 3 from both sides.

-2x + 3y = - 19

Correct form typically has the leading coefficient as a positive number so multiply each term by - 1.

2x - 3y = 19
