Answer

B. `(y −4) = -(4)/(3) (x +3)`


Step by step explanation

The given points are (-3, 4) and (3, -4)

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

= (-4 - 4) / (3 - (-3))

= -8/6

m = -4/3

When two points are given, the equation of the line is

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

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

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

The answer is y - 4 = -4/3 (x + 3)

Thank you.
