Question

Which is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, 3) and (2, -6)?

A. y= -3/2x + 3
B. y= -3/2x - 3
C. y = 3/2x + 3
D. y = 3/2x - 3

Answer 1

B) y=-3/2x-3

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-6-3)/(2-(-4))

m=-9/(2+4)

m=-9/6

simplify

m=-3/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=-3/2(x-(-4))

y-3=-3/2(x+4)

y=-3/2x-12/2+3

y=-3/2x-6+3

y=-3/2x-3
