Answer:

OPTION B: y = 6x - 27

Explanation:

When two points on a line are given we use the following formula to determine the equation of the line:


$ (y - y_1)/(y_2 - y_1) = (x - x_1)/(x_2 - x_1) $

where
$ (x_1, y_1) $ and
$ (x_2, y_2) $ are the two points on the line.

Here, the two points are
$ (x_1, y_1) = (5, 3) $ and
$ (x_2, y_2) = (4, -3) $.

Substituting the points in the formula, we have:


$ (y - 3)/(-3 - 3) = (x - 5)/(4 - 5) $


$ \implies (y - 3)/(-6) = (x - 5)/(-1) $


$ \implies y - 3 = 6x - 30 $

∴ y = 6x - 27 is the required equation of the line.
