Hi there!
To derive an equation given the points, we can use the slope formula:
Plug in the corresponding coordinates:
Simplify:
Therefore, we have:
y = -4x + b
Plug in the x and y values for a coordinate to solve for b:
2 = -4(1) + b
2 = -4 + b
b = 6
The equation is:
y = -4x + 6. The correct answer is D.
