Answer:

The answer is option B

Explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find an equation of a line given two points first find the slope / gradient

Slope of the line using points (-1,4) and (-2,2) is


m = (2 - 4)/( - 2 + 1) = ( - 2)/( - 1) = 2

So the equation of the line using point (-1,4) is

y - 4 = 2( x + 1)

Hope this helps you
