The answer to this question would be D. 3(x)-3(9)
You start by finding the slope : y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
2 - 8 / 4 - (-16)
- 6 / 20
m = - 3 / 10
Point slope form : y - y1 = m( x- x1 )
You can pick either of the coordinates and substitute them in
POINT SLOPE FORM EQUATION : y - 8 = -3/10 ( x + 16 )
D
Absolute Value of a number is the positive of whatever to total value is. For example |-12| = 12, and |32| = 32
