Answer 2

Answer:

Option A) $y + 7 = -3(x - 5)$ is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The points through which the above line passes is (0,8) (4,0) and (5,-7).

Taking any two points and forming the equation of line,

take the 2 points as (0,8) and (5,-7).

The slope is calculated as,

$m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{(8)-(-7)}{(0)-(5)} = \frac{15}{-5} = -3$

Thus the equation of line is,

$(y - 8) = m(x-0) = (-3)(x)$

This can be rearanged as,

$y + 7 = -3x + 15 = -3(x-5)$

Thus, option A is correct.
