I hope this helps, it is correct.
The linear equation in standard form is:
6x - 7y = -11
Which is the last option.
<h3>How to get the equation of the line?</h3>
The line in slope-intercept form is written as:
y = a*x + b
We can see that the line passes through the points (-3, -1) and (1/2, 2), then the slope is:
Then we can write:
y = (6/7)*x + b
To find the value of b, we use the first point. It means that when x = -3, the value of y is -1, then we get:
-1 = (6/7)*-3 + b
-1 + 18/7 = b
-7/7 + 18/7 = b
11/7 = b
Then the equation is:
y = (6/7)*x + 11/7
If we multiply both sides by 7 we get:
7y = 6x + 11
Now we move the term with "x" to the left:
7y - 6x = 11
That is the line in standard form.
If we multiply both sides by -1, we get the last option:
6x - 7y = -11
