Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

This question wants the formula for the line that travels through (7, -8) and (-4, 6). The equation should be in point-slope form, using (-4, 6) as the point. Steps to find the equation are: Calculate the slope and plug all values into point-slope form formula.

Point-slope form formula:
`y-y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

`m = (6-(-8))/(-4-7) = -(14)/(11) \\`

Plug this into the formula.

`y - y_1 = -(14)/(11) (x - x_1)`

Substitute in the point (-4, 6).

`y - (6) = -(14)/(11)(x - (-4)) \\y - 6 = -(14)/(11)(x +4)`

So Option B is the correct answer.
