Writing Linear Equations

Question 82822 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

Line AB goes through the points A (0, –4) and B (6, 2). Which equation represents line AB?

Answer
A
y – 4 = 3x
B
y – 2 = 3(x – 6)
C
y + 4 = x
D
y + 6 = x - 2

Explanation

The slope through A(0, −4) and B(6, 2) is (2 − (−4))/(6 − 0) = 6/6 = 1. Using point A in point-slope form gives y − (−4) = 1(x − 0), which simplifies to y + 4 = x. Therefore, choice C, “y + 4 = x,” represents line AB.
