Question

what is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the points (-4,2) and (12,6)?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{First, find the slope,} \\ m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(6-2)/(12-(-4)) \\ m=(4)/(16)=(1)/(4) \\ T\text{he equation is,} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-2=(1)/(4)(x+4) \\ \end{gathered}`

Thus, the option (b) is correct.
