Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Gradient of a line =( y2 - y1)/x2 - x1
From the question, x1=4,y1=-1,x2=1,y2=0.
Therefore, substitute for these values in the above formula
m = 0-(-1)/1-4
= 0+1/-3
= -1/3.
Therefore, y-y1/x-x1 = -1/3
y - y1 = -1/3(x - x1)
y - (-1) = -(x-x1)/3
y+1 = - (x - 4)/3
Multiply through by 3
3y+3= -x+4
3y +x=4-3
x+3y= 1
Therefore the answer is A.
5x - 9 is equal to 21
