Question

Whats is the equation of the following line?

Answer 1

D. Y= - 4/3 x Rise over run

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

  C.     $y=\dfrac{-3}{4}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through the point (0,0) and (4,-3).

By using the two point formula to find the equation of the line.

i.e. any line passing through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is calculated by using the formula:

$y-b=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\times (x-a)$

Here (a,b)=(0,0) and (c,d)=(4,-3)

Hence, the equation of line is calculated as follows:

$y-0=\dfrac{-3-0}{4-0}\times (x-0)\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{-3}{4}\times x\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{-3}{4}x$

Hence, the correct answer is:  Option: C
