Hello!
Find the coordinate where x = -1:
At x = -1, y = 1, so the coordinate is (-1, 1).
Find the coordinate where x = 2:
At x = 2, y = -2, so the coordinate is (2, -2).
Find the rate of change between the points using the slope formula:
Plug in the coordinates above:
Simplify:
Thus, the rate of change between the points is -1.
Answer:
6x - 11y = -13 is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's plug in the points to see what sticks.
Start with (-4, -1)
1) 11x - 6y = 11(-4) - 6(-1) = -44 + 6 = -38 13
2) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13
3) 6x - 7y = 6(-4) - 7(-1) = -24 + 7 = -17 17
4) 6x - 11y = 6(-4) - 11(-1) = -24 + 11 = -13 13
The only one that fits is #2. Let's try the other point to be sure.
2) 6x - 11y = 6(1.5) - 11(2) = 9 - 22 = -13
