Answer:

D

Explanation:

gradient is change in y/change in x

gradient of UV = 14-8/12+4=3/4

use equation y=mx+c where y is the y coordinate, m is the gradient, x is the x coordinate and c is the y intercept

use one of the coordinates of U or V, I'll use (4,8)


y = mx + c


8 = (3)/(4) (4) + c


8 = 3 + c

c is 5

the equation for UV is


y = (3)/(4) x + 5

insert each X coordinate given in the question to see if it gives the same y coordinate

when x is 20, y is also 20 so the answer is D
