Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−6, 4) and (2, 0). y − 4 = −one half(x + 6) y − 4 = 2(x + 6) y + 6 = −one half(x − 4) y + 6 = 2(x − 4)

Answer 1

I just took the test answer a

Explanation:

Answer 2

y-y1=m(x-x1)
for slope=m
for point (x1,y1)
slope for 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

points
(2,0)
(-6,4)
(0-4)/(2-(-6))=(-4)/(2+6)=-4/8=-1/2

m=-1/2


could be
y-4=-1/2(x+6)
or
y=-1/2(x-2)
