Answer:
y - 5 = (-5/6)(x - 2)
y - 5 = (-5/6)x + 10/6
y - 30/6 = (-5/6)x + 10/6
y = (-5/6)x + 20/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce all of the mutiple choices
A. 4/3 . It is greater than 3/4. 4/3 as a decimal is 1.333. 3/4= 0.75
B. 12/12. 12/12=1. 1 is greater than 3/4
C. 9/16. Cannot reduce the fraction.
D. 12/16 divide by 4 for the numerator and denominator. 12/4=3 , 16/4= 4
Answer: D. 12/16
The slope is calculated through the formula:
dy/dx.
If you apply this to your question you get:
(4-2)/(4-1) = 2/3 or 0.667
