Question

1. which equation represents the line that passes through the points (4, 6) and (2, - 4)? y = x + 2 y = 5x - 14 y = -x + 10 y = -5x + 26 clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate slope

$m=\frac{-4-6}{2-4}=\frac{-10}{-2}=5$

Step2: Find line equation

Using point (4,6): $y-6=5(x-4)\Rightarrow y=5x-14$

Answer:

B. $y = 5x - 14$
