Question

. Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (6, –3) and (–4, –9)?
A. y + 4 = 3 over 5 (x + 9)
B. y + 4 = 5 over 3 (x + 9)
C. y - 3 = 3 over 5 (x + 6)
D. y + 3 = 3 over 5(x – 6)

Answer 1

So first you have to find the slope:
-9--3
over
-4-6
So that's -6/-10
3/5

Answer 2

Now for the equation... does it need to be in a certain form(like standard or point-slope)

Answer 3

It has to look like one of these.
A. y + 4 = 3 over 5 (x + 9)
B. y + 4 = 5 over 3 (x + 9)
C. y - 3 = 3 over 5 (x + 6)
D. y + 3 = 3 over 5(x – 6)

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

so that is point-slope

Answer 6

Correct.

Answer 7

A

Answer 8

because:
y--4=3/5(x--9)
(negative and a negative = positive)
y+4=3/5(x+9)

Answer 9

Thanks you so much!

Answer 10

No prob!
