Question

Find the equation of the line specified.

The line passes through the points (-2, 3) and (-4,7)
a. y = -2x-1
y = -4x-1
b. y = -2x +3
d. y = -2x + 7
C.
Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer 1

A……

Explanation:

Answer 2

Find the slope

7-3 divided by -4--2

Slope is -2

substitute point in y=mx+b

7= -2(-4)+b

7=8+b

Move 8 to the other side as a negative number

b is equal to -1

Putting it all together we have y= -2x-1

Therefore, the answer is option a
