Answer:
x-4y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the equation of a line is Ax+By=C where A is a positive integer and B and C are integers
First we need to find the slope
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-3-1) / (-4-12)
=-4/-16
= 1/4
The point slope form is
y-1 = 1/4(x-12)
Multiply each side by 4
4(y-1 )= 4*1/4(x-12)
4(y-1) = x-12
4y -4 = x-12
Subtract 4y from each side
4y-4-4y = x-4y -12
-4 = x-4y -12
Add 12 to each side
-4+12 = x-4y -12+12
8 = x-4y
x-4y = 8
The standard form is x-4y = 8
