Answer:

D. y=-3/4x

Explanation:

because when doing slope, you have to remember that it goes y/x and the fact that this is a negative slope meaning that you count from point (0,0) to (4,-3), and the lines on the graph count by 2's, so you would be counting down 3 (because point (4,-3) is inbetween -2 and -4) and to the right 4. making the answer -3/4, and it is negative because it is a downward facing slope. oh, and the x is there because it is an ever changing variable (ever continuing)

Answer: D

Explanation:

Using the two point slope form with points (0, 0) and (4, -3):


(y-0)/(x-0)=(4-0)/(-3-(0))


\begin{aligned}&(y)/(x)=(4)/(-3) \\&y=-(3)/(4) x\end{aligned}

Therefore, D is the correct answer
