Answer:
The equation of the line is y = x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the equation that passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is y = m x + b, where
- m is the slope of the line whose rule is
- b is the y-intercept, you can find it by substituting x, y in the equation by (x1, y1) OR (x2, y2)
Let us solve the question:
∵ The line passes through the points (-3, -2) and (3, 6)
∴ x1 = -3 and x2 = 3
∴ y1 = -2 and y2 = 6
→ Use the rule of m to find it
∵
→ Simplify it by dividing up and down by 2
∴ m =
→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above
∴ y = x + b
→ To find b substitute x and y by x1 and y1
∴ -2 = (-3) + b
∴ -2 = -4 + b
→ Add 4 to both sides
∴ -2 + 4 = -4 + 4 + b
∴ 2 = b
→ Substitute it in the form of the equation
∴ y = x + 2
∴ The equation of the line is y = x + 2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The best - well, only way- is to check a few points.
Namely -1 (unless your eyesight is really poor!), 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Now you can mark all these points in each graph (well, you could if they were on paper and not on a screen) and see which one of the lines passes through all of them. Spoiler alert, it's the B graph.
A represents , B is the one you want, C is
