Answer:

2x - y = 6

Explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

given

y - 10 = 2(x - 8) ← distribute parenthesis

y - 10 = 2x - 16 ( subtract y from both sides )

- 10 = 2x - y - 16 ( add 16 to both sides )

6 = 2x - y , that is

2x - y = 6 ← in standard form
