\[y=mx+b, m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

A. Y+2=-2(X-3)
B.Y+5=-2(X-4)
C.Y-3=-2(X+9)
D.Y-5=-2(X+4)
OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):
thus the slope is m=-9-5 / 3- -4=-14/7=-2
y=-2x+b
plug in one of the points, say 3,-9
-9=-6+b
b=-3
thus, y=-2x-3

no I need one of those

is it a

check which can be, not guess.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im canceling out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-y1 means either y-5 or y+9 on L.H.S
x-x1 on R.H.S can be x+4 or x-3

m=-2 as Mr. P0sitr0n calculated.
y-5=-2(x+4) matches it.
