Answer:
A. 15x +14y = -36
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given two points, we can start with the 2-point form of the equation for a line.
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (6 -(-9))/(-8 -6)(x -6) +(-9)
y = 15/-14(x -6) -9
Multiplying by -14, we have ...
-14y = 15x -90 +126
Adding 14y-36 to both sides gives ...
-36 = 15x +14y . . . . matches choice A
The standard-form equation is ...
15x +14y = -36
_____
<em>Additional comments</em>
It can be easier to start with the form ...
(Δy)x -(Δx)y = (Δy)x1 -(Δx)y1 . . . . . where Δx = x2-x1 and Δy = y2-y1
This gives ...
(6+9)x -(-8-6)y = 15(6) +14(-9)
15x +14y = -36 . . . simplified

You can also start with the slope-intercept form or the point-slope form, if you're more familiar with those. The result will be the same. I find it handy to be familiar with a number of different forms of the equation for a line.
The point-slope equation of the line is y - 8 = 3(x - 6)
<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>
The points are given as:
(x1, y1) = (6, 8)
The slope is given as:
m= 3
The equation is then calculated as:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
This gives
y - 8 = 3(x - 6)
Hence, the point-slope equation of the line is y - 8 = 3(x - 6)

She could estimate that there would be about 148 million female drivers.
From her data, she found there were 118 females drivers out of the total 200 drivers that she counted.
That is 118 out of 200 or 0.59 or 59%.
Now, just take 59% of 250.
0.59 x 250 = 147.5 which rounds to 148.
