Answer: -2+4x
Explanation: You have to find your slope first in order to put it into standard form. What you have to do to find your slope is y1-y2/x2-x1 so you plug your points into that formula and have 0-2/2-1 which equals -2, so your slope is -2. You now have to put this into standard form, the easy way of doin this is y=mx+b, you have to find b so to do so you have to plug your numbers in from only one pair of points. We’ll use (2,0) so then you’ll have 0=-2(2)+b, we multiply -2*2 and get 4 and you can’t divide 4 into 0 because then you’ll have an undefined line. so your b is 4 which means your equation is -2+4x.
