What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,7) and (8,10)?


Choices:

A3x+4y=−16
B3x−4y=16
C3x+4y=16
D3x−4y=−16
E−3x−4y=16

Verified Answer :

First we need to calculate the slope (m)
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
m = 10-7 / 8-4
m = 3/4

Now, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 7 = 3/4 (x - 4)
y - 7 = 3x/4 - 3
y = 3x/4 + 4
Multiply both sides by 4, 
4y = 3x + 16
3x - 4y = -16

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
