Question

Which equation represents the line through (4,5) and (0,-3)

Answer 1

The linear equation that represents the line that passes through the points (4,5) and (0,-3) is given by:

B. y = 2x - 3

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

• m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

• b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line passes through (0,-3), that is, when x = 0, y = -3, hence the y-intercept is of b = -3.

The slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x, hence:

m = (5 - (-3))/(4 - 0) = 2

Hence the equation is:

y = 2x - 3.

Which means that option B is correct.
