Which of the following equations best represents the line segment PQ?

Ay = −3x + 2
By = −2x + 1
Cy = −3x − 2
Dy = −2x − 1

I think it's either B or D, because I know the y-intercept is 1.

Which of the following equations best represents the line segment PQ? A. y = 3x + 2 B. y = 2x + 1 C. y = 3x 2 D. y = 2x 1 I think it s either B or D, because I class=

b, because the slopes in down two over one

Answer:

B. y=-2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this.

using two points of a line , it is possible to find the equation

Step 1

if P1 Y P2 are two points of a line

\(P1(x_{1},y_{1})\\P2(x_{2},y_{2})\)

\(m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }\)

now, replacing

P=P1=(-1,3)

Q=P2=(2,-3)

\(m=\frac{-3-3}{2-(-1)}\\m=\frac{-6}{3} \\m=-2\)

Step 2

use the slope and P to find y

\(y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-3 =-2(x-(-1) )\\y-3=-2x-2\\Add\ 3\ to\ both\ sides\\y=-2x-2+3\\y=-2x+1\\\\y=-2x+1   (B)\)

so the equation of the line is y=-2x+1

Have a good day
