Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (8,-1) and (2,-5) in standard form, given that the point-
slope form is y + 1 = 2/3 (x-8).

2x - 3y = 19

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

Given

y + 1 = (x - 8)

Multiply all terms on both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction

3y + 3 = 2(x - 8)

3y + 3 = 2x - 16 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

3 = 2x - 3y - 16 ( add 16 to both sides )

19 = 2x - 3y, that is

2x - 3y = 19 ← in standard form

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
