will medal Which equations represent the line shown in the graph? Choose all answers that are correct. A. y - 1 = -4/3 (x + 1) B. 4x + 3y = -1 C. 3x - 4y = 1 D. y = -4/3x - 1/3

OpenStudy (nathalie0918):

it is A. B. and D.

OpenStudy (adi3):

that was helpfull

OpenStudy (danjs):

different forms of lines , 2 points will define a line, and on the graph they gave 2 that are whole numbers Us those two points, to get a slope value

OpenStudy (dayakar):

only B is represent the line shown in the graph

OpenStudy (dayakar):

do u want eaplanation

OpenStudy (danjs):

Equations for a line given a slope m, and a point (x1, y1) on the line. y - y1 = m*(x - x1) y = m*x + b a*x + b*y = c (a,b,c are just constants)

OpenStudy (danjs):

The slope is the rate that the y direction changes with the x direction \[\frac{ -3 - 1 }{ 2- (-1) } = \frac{ -4 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

a line can be defined with 2 points, or with a point and a direction(slope) using m = -4/3 and any point on line, say (x1,y1)= (-1,1)

OpenStudy (danjs):

y - 1 = (-4/3)*( x + 1) ----(Choice A is good) Rearrange this equation into the other forms of a line. y = m*x + b y = (-4/3)*x - (4/3) + 1 y = (-4/3)x - 1/3 ----(Choice D Good) ax + by = c (4/3)x + y = -1/3 4x + 3y = -1 ------(Choice B Good)
