M = y2-y1/x2-x1
= 2 - 3 / 0 - 1
= -1 / -1
= 1

Y = x + b
2 = 0 + b
2 = b

Y = x + 2
0 = x - y + 2
-2 = x - y
2 = -x + y

Therefore, the equation of the line in standard form is 2 = -x + y

(not sure if done right lol)

Answer:


x-y=-2

Explanation:

The standard form of a line is given by:


Ax+By=C\\\\A,B,C \in R

Given a point:


P_1=(x_1,y_2)

and a slope
m:

The equation of the line can be obtained in a simple way from the point-slope formula:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope of a line is defined as the difference on the y-axis divided by the difference on the x-axis for two different points on a line:


m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x) =(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

So, given the points:


P_1(x_1,y_1)=A(1,3)\\P_2(x_2,y_2)=B(0,2)

The slope is:


m=(2-3)/(0-2) =(-1)/(-1)=1

Now, using the point
A(1,3):


y-3=1(x-1)\\\\y-3=x-1\\\\y=x-1+3\\\\y=x+2

Finally, let's rewrite the obtained expression in its standar form:


x-y=-2
