Question

Consider the line that passes through the points (-5, 9) and (-2, 0). Below are two different equations. Identify the true statement concerning both equations.


Equation #1 Equation #2
y - 9 = -1/3(x + 5) y - 9 = -3(x + 5)

Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Only equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Both equation #1 and equation #2 represent the line that passes through the two given points.

Neither equation #1 nor equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.
