Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (–12, –8) and (–17, –16)?

Answer 1

y = mx + c
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
So here m = 8/5
y = 8/5 x + c

Answer 2

answer choices
y-17=-8/5(x-16)
y-16=8/5(x-17)
y+16=-4(x+10)
y+6=8/5(x+17)

Answer 3

If two points are given then use eq
( y - y1) = m( x - x1)
so, eq is
y +16 = 8/5( x + 17)
