Which equation represents the line passing through the points (320 and (-96)?

Answer 1

To find the equation of the line passing through the points (3, 20) and (-9, 6), we first calculate the slope (m) using the formula (m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}). Substituting the points, we have (m = \frac{6 - 20}{-9 - 3} = \frac{-14}{-12} = \frac{7}{6}). Using the point-slope form (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)), we can use one of the points, say (3, 20), to get the equation: (y - 20 = \frac{7}{6}(x - 3)). Simplifying this gives the line's equation in slope-intercept form.
