The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through negative 4 comma negative 3 and 12 comma 1 is y minus 1 is equal to 1 fourth open paren x minus 12 close paren What is the standard form of the equation for this line?

Start with the given point-slope equation, y − 1 = ¼(x − 12). Multiply both sides by 4 to get 4y − 4 = x − 12, then rearrange to put the variables on the left and the constant on the right: x − 4y = 8. This is choice C, “x minus 4y is equal to 8.”
