Answer:

D

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4)

m =
(4-6)/(8-3) = -
(2)/(5), hence

y = -
(2)/(5) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (8, 4), then

4 = -
(16)/(5) + c ⇒ c = 4 +
(16)/(5) =
(36)/(5)

y = -
(2)/(5) x +
(36)/(5) ← equation of line
