Given the points (-6, 8) and (-3, 4), which of the following are true about the line passing through these points?


The line represents a direct variation function.

The line has a slope of - 3/4.

The point (9, -12) is also on the line.

The line has a slope of 3/4 .

Answer 1

The line has a slope of - 3/4.

The line has a slope of 3/4.

Explanation:

To determine the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:

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

Using the points (-6, 8) and (-3, 4), the slope would be:

Slope = (4 - 8) / (-3 - (-6)) = -4 / 3 = -4/3

So, the line has a slope of -4/3. The other statements in the list are not necessarily true based on the given information.
