Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-4, 0) and (0, 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1.5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (-4, 0)

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (0, 6)

To find the equation of line;

First of all, we would determine the slope of the line.

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

$Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis}$

$Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Slope, m = \frac {6 - 0}{0 - (-4)}$

$Slope, m = \frac {6}{4}$

Slope, m = 1.5

To find the equation of line, we would use the following formula;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting into the formula, we have;

y - 0 = 1.5(x - (-4))

y = 1.5x + 6
