Question

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? check all that apply . (-2,6) (4,3)

Answer 1

The slope can be found below

(-2,6)(4, 3)

`\begin{gathered} m=(3-6)/(4+2) \\ m=-(3)/(6) \\ m=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The equation can be represented as

`\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-6=-(1)/(2)(x+2) \end{gathered}`

or

`\begin{gathered} y-y_2=m(x-x_2) \\ y-3=-(1)/(2)(x-4) \end{gathered}`
