The answer is D

If you used the slope formula (y2-y1/x2-x1) you would get a slope of -3/4.

Answer: The correct option is (D)
y=-(3)/(4)x.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the equation of a straight line passing through the points (4, -3) and (0, 0).

We know that the slope of a line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by


m=(d-b)/(c-a).

So, the slope of the given line is


m=(-3-0)/(4-0)=-(3)/(4).

Since the line passes through the point (0, 0), so its equation will be


y-0=m(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow y=-(3)/(4)x.

Thus, the required equation of the given line is
y=-(3)/(4)x.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
