well, your equation, which is already in standard form, just needs a value for b.
just plug in a point
x-2y=b
4-2(-2) = b
so, b=8
x-2y=8
which is standard form with
a=1
b=-2
c=8
I found three points of the equation
x-2y=b which were (4, -2) (0,-4)(-4,-6)
But the question further asks to convert the equation of the new line to standard form ax+by=c.
I'm so confused. Can anyone please help?

I get it! I thought I would have to use all the points
