Question

Aline passes through the points (-6, 4) and (-2, 2). Which is the equation of the line?

O y=-3x+1
O y=zx+7
O y=-2x -8
O y = 2x + 16

Answer 1

[see below]

Explanation:

Finding Slope:

`m=(2-4)/(-2+6)=(-2)/(4)=-(1)/(2)`

Using a point-slope equation to convert into slope-intercept:

I used (-2,2).

`y-2=-(1)/(2)(x+2)\\\\ y-2=-(1)/(2)x-1\\\\y-2+2=-(1)/(2)-1+2\\\\\boxed{y=-(1)/(2)+1}`

None of the given options are correct.

Hope this helps.
