Which equation represents a line that passes through (-9, -3) and has a slope of 6?

y-9= 6(x - 3)
y+9= 6x + 3)
y-3= 61X - 9)
y+ 3 = 6(x + 9)

Answer:


\textup{\textbf{Option B}}

Explanation:

To solve this question we will go by the options, Let us start by substituting the point the graph passes through.

(i)
$y - 9 = 6(x - 3)$\\

We will Substitute the point
$(-9,-3)$ to check if it satisfies the equation. Since, it does not we will move to the second equation.

We repeat this for the remaining three options.

For (iv)
$y + 3 = 6(x  + 9)$

substitute
$x = -9$ and
$y = -3$

We get
$ L.H.S. =  y + 3 = -3 + 3 = 0 $\\$ R.H.S. = 6(x + 9) = 6(-9 + 9) = 0$\\$ \therefore L.H.S. = R.H.S.$\\

Now to verify for the slope, we rewrite the equation in the standard form
$ viz., y = mx + c$ where
$m$ is the slope of the given equation.


$ y + 3 = 6x + 54$\\$ \implies  y = 6x +54 - 3 = 6x +51$

Comparing it with the standard form, we get the slope of the line to be equal to 6. Hence, Option 4 would be the correct answer.
