Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

After plugging in the numbers as indicated, to the indicated arithmetic, then use the standard tools for manipulating equations to put your equation into standard form, namely:

Note, some texts/professors require that the coefficients in standard form be integers. Check with your instructor.
