A line passes through the points open paren negative 6 comma 4 close paren and open paren negative 2 comma 2 close paren Which is the equation of the line?

The slope is (2 − 4) ÷ [−2 − (−6)] = −2 ÷ 4 = −1/2. Substituting the point (−2, 2) into y = −1/2x + b gives 2 = 1 + b, so b = 1. Therefore, the line is y = −1/2x + 1, choice B.
