Answer:
2x - y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in standard form is
Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )
Rearrange y + 1 = 2(x - 4) into this form
y + 1 = 2x - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
y + 9 = 2x ( subtract y from both sides )
9 = 2x - y ⇒ 2x - y = 9 ← in standard form
