Question

Can you help me Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−6, 4) and (2, 0).

A: y − 4 = −one half(x + 6)

B: y − 4 = 2(x + 6)

C: y + 6 = −one half(x − 4)

D: y + 6 = 2(x − 4)

Answer 1

the answer is a

Answer 2

first we need to find the slope by using the slope formula:
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(6,4) x1 = 6, y1 = 4
(2,0) x2 = 2, y2 = 0

now lets sub our info into the formula
m = (0 - 4) / (2 - 6)
m = -4/-4
m = 1

understand so far ?

Answer 3

i did the math i just wanna make sure that is correct because im still getting use to working these problems out

Answer 4

I messed up on the slope...it is -4/8 or -1/2

y - y1 = m(x - x1) using slope -1/2 and points (-6,4)
y - 4 = -1/2(x - (-6)
y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

your answer is correct

Answer 5

thank u soooo @kelliegirl33
