The point slope form of the equation off the line that passes through (-4, -3) and (12, 1) is y -1=1/4(x-12). What is the standard form of the equation for this line ?

Y-1=1/4(x-12)
Y-1=1/4x-3
Y=1/4x-3+1
Y=1/4x-2
Now write it in standard form ax+by+c
-1/4x+y=-2
It’s better not to have a negative in front so y-1/4x=-2
