Question

Consider the line that passes through the points (4, -3) and (2, -1). Below are two different equations. Identify the true statement concerning both equations.



Equation #1

Equation #2

y - 3 = -1(x + 4) y - 1 = -1(x + 2)


Choose one answer.

a. Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points. b. Only equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points. c. Both equation #1 and equation #2 represent the line that passes through the two given points. d. Neither equation #1 nor equation #2 represents the line that passes

Answer 1

Equation 2

Answer 2

Wait a minute.

Answer 3

Answer is D.

Answer 4

Equation 1 and Equation 2 are both the same. Neither of them cross through both lines.

Answer 5

That's what i figure thanks

Answer 6

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (-1 - (-3) / (2 - 4)
slope = (-1 + 3) / -2
slope = 2/-2 = -1

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = -1(x - 4)
y + 3 = -1(x - 4)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1(x - 1)

I agree...it is D
