If what you mean is, what is the equation of the line which passes through those two points A and B, then you can use method like what is shown in this video:

Equation of line through two given points

Once you have in the form y=%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bb where slope is n%2Fd, you have what you want (General Form); but if you really want STANDARD FORM, then simple steps will allow to transformation.

y=%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bb
y-%28n%2Fd%29x=b
-%28n%2Fd%29x%2By=b
highlight_green%28-nx%2Bdy=bd%29
or
highlight_green%28nx-dy=-bd%29
or
whatever equivalent method you choose.
