Question 11 options:

A) y = x + 7

B) y = –x + 9

C) y = x + 11

D) y = x – 7

Answer:

the answer is B) y=-x+9

Step by Step Explanation:

`m= (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1)) = (6-10)/(3+1)=(-4)/(4) = -1\\m= -1\\\\y=mx +b\\y = -x +b\\6=-1(3) +b\\6= -3+b\\6+3 = b\\9=b\\\\y=-x+9`

Answer 2

I think it is -4=4x+10

Explanation:

6-10=-4

.......

3-(-1)=4

......

y=mx+b

......

-4=4x+10
