Question

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

y − 4 = −(x + 6)

y − 4 = 2(x + 6)

y + 6 = −(x − 4)

y + 6 = 2(x − 4)

Answer 1

@help123please.

Answer 2

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

now lets sub..
m = (0 - 4) / (2 - (-6)
m = -4/8
m = -1/2 <-- this is your slope

now we will use the point slope formula :
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)

I am getting a different answer then your answer choices.
