Verified Answer :

Answer:

Option 2 and option 6 are correct which is \((y-6)=-2(x-4)\)  and \((y-2)=-2(x-6)\)  respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two points (4,6) and (6,2)

We have formula for equation of a line which is

\((y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\)

Where \(m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Here, \({x_1=4,y_1=6,x_2=6,y_2=2\)

On substituting the values  we will get  \(m=\frac{2-6}{6-4}=-2\)

Now, substituting values in \((y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\) we will get

\((y-6)=-2(x-4)\)

If we choose  \(x_1=6,y_1=2,x_2=4,y_2=6\) then substituting the values in \((y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\) we will get

\((y-2)=-2(x-6)\)

Therefore,option 2 and option 6 are correct.
