Answer:

Option (A)

y = - 5 / 8 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are

(x', y') = ( - 8, 11 )

(x'', y'') = (4, 7/2)

The equation o line passing through two points is given by

$(y - y') = \frac{y'' - y'}{x''-x'}(x-x')\\\\(y - 11)= \frac{\frac{7}{2}-11}{4+8} (x + 8)\\\\y - 11 = \frac{-5}{8}(x + 8)\\\\y -11 = \frac{-5x}{8} - 5\\\\y = \frac{-5x}{8} + 6$

So, option (A) is correct.

Answer:

A) y = -5/8x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y`1 / x2 - x1

7/2 - 11 / 4 - (-8)

-15/2 / 12

= -5/8

y = -5/8x + b

11 = -5/8(-8) + b

11 = 5 + b

6 = b

PEMDAS

<h3>let's solve:</h3>

$\sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 12 : \\ \sf {x}^{2} - 4x = - \frac{13}{4}$
$\sf \: add \: { - 2}^{2} \: to \: both \: sides : \\ \sf { {x}^{2} } - 4x + ( - {2}^{2} ) = \frac{13}{4} + ( { - 2}^{2} ) \\ {x}^{2} - 4x + 4 = \frac{13}{4} + 4$
$\sf simplify \: addition : \\ \sf { {x}^{2} } - 4x + 4 = \frac{3}{4}$
$\sf use \: {a}^{2} - 2ab + {b}^{2} = (a - b {)}^{2} : \\ \sf (x - 2 {)}^{2} = \frac{3}{4}$
$\sf squre \: root \: both \: sides : \\ \sf \sqrt{(x - 2 {)}^{2} } = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{3}{4} } \\ \begin{cases} x - 2 = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} \\x - 2 = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} \end{cases}$
$\sf add \: 2 \: to \: both \: sides : \\ \sf \begin{cases}x = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} + 2 \\ x = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} + 2 \end{cases} \\ \therefore \: x = \begin{cases} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} + 2 \\ - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} + 2 \end{cases}$
