Select the three equationsthat pass through the points (–4, –16) and (5, 2):

y + 4 = 2(x – 16)
y – 2 = 2(x – 5)
y = 2x – 8
y + 16 = 2(x + 4)

Answer:

B.y – 2 = 2(x – 5)

C.y = 2x – 8

D.y + 16 = 2(x + 4)

Explanation:

An equation that passes through the points will have a gradient that is equal to that in the equation formed using the points and it will be TRUE for the values of (x,y) in the points when tested.

Finding slope obtained from the points (-4,-16) and (5,2)

m=slope=Δy/Δx

m=Δy=(2--16)/(5--4)

m=18/9= 2

Checking in the equations to identify the ones with a slope of 2 and test with the points to see if the equation holds

Rewrite the equations in the slope intercept form where y=mx+c and m is slope

In A.

y+4=2(x-16)

y+4=2x-32

y=2x-36-------------------slope is 2

⇒use points in equation to see if the equation is TRUE.

⇒Applying point (-4,-16) to the equation

-16=2(-4)-36

-16=-8-36

-16=-44 incorrect

⇒Applying point (5,2) in the equation

2=2(5)-36

2=10-36

2=-26-------incorrect

Equation A is incorrect

In B

y-2=2(x-5)

y-2=2x-10

y=2x-8----------------------slope is 2

Applying the points in the equation

Point (-4,-16)

-16=2(-4)-8

-16=-8-8

-16=-16---------correct

Point (5,2)

2=2(5)-8

2=10-8

2=2----------------correct option

Equation B is correct

In C

y=2x-8-----------------------slope is 2

Applying points (-4,-16) in the equation

-16=2(-4)-8

-16=-8-8

-16=-16--------correct

Applying point (5,2)

2=2(5)-8

2=10-8

2=2-------correct

Equation C is correct

In D

y+16=2x+8

y=2x-8--------------------slope of 2

Apply the point (-4,-16) to the equation

-16=2(-4)-8

-16=-8-8

-16=-16----------correct

Apply the point (5,2)

2=2(5)-8

2=10-8

2=2------------correct

Equation D is correct
