Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (4, 6) and (-2, -1)?
y = -5/2x + 16
y = 5/2x - 4
y = -7/6x + 32/3
y = 7/6x + 4/3

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 7/6x + 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

find slope first

change in y over the change in x

-1-6/-2-4 = -7/-6 = 7/6

to be extra sure use this formula to find the y-intercept or b

y - 6 = 7/6 (x -4)

you can plug in either point

solve for y and you have the equation in slope intercept form or y=mx+b
