Answer:

Option 2 and option 6 are correct which is
(y-6)=-2(x-4) and
(y-2)=-2(x-6) respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two points (4,6) and (6,2)

We have formula for equation of a line which is


(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)

Where
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Here,
{x_1=4,y_1=6,x_2=6,y_2=2

On substituting the values we will get
m=(2-6)/(6-4)=-2

Now, substituting values in
(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) we will get


(y-6)=-2(x-4)

If we choose
x_1=6,y_1=2,x_2=4,y_2=6 then substituting the values in
(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) we will get


(y-2)=-2(x-6)

Therefore,option 2 and option 6 are correct.
