#3 Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-3, -2) and (3, 6). A. y = 3x + 6 B. y =...
A. y = 3x + 6
B. y = (4/3)x + 2
C. y = 4x + 2
D. y = 2x + (4/3)
To find the equation of the line passing through the points (-3, -2) and (3, 6), we first calculate the slope (m) using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substituting the given points:
m = (6 - (-2)) / (3 - (-3)) = 8 / 6 = 4/3
Now, use the point-slope form of the equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Using point (3, 6):
y - 6 = (4/3)(x - 3)
Simplifying:
y - 6 = (4/3)x - 4
y = (4/3)x + 2
The correct answer is B. y = (4/3)x + 2
