ANSWER ASAP PLS

A line passes through the points (-6, 4) and (-2, 2). Which is the equation of the line?
A y=-3x+1
B x = 1/2x +7
C y=-2x-8
D y = 2x + 16

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

= (2-4)/(-2+6)

= -2/4

= -1/2

now

y=mx+c

4=-1/2(-6)+c (you can take any x and y from the given two points. I took from (-6,4)

or,4= 3+c

therefore, c=1

now

y=mx+c

y= -1/2x+1

or, y = 1-x/2
