9. A line passes through (2, –1) and (8, 4). a. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. b. Rewrite the equation in standard form using integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+1)/(8-2)= 5/6

y + 1 = 5/6(x - 2)

y + 1 = 5/6x - 5/3

y + 3/3 = 5/6x - 5/3

y = 5/6x - 8/3

6(y = 5/6x - 8/3)

6y = 5x - 16

-5x + 6y = -16

b. astronomers
