Question

Which equation represents the line passing through points A and C on the graph below? On a coordinate plane, point A is at (2, 3), point B is at (negative 2, 1), point C is at (negative 4, negative 3), and point D is at (4, negative 5). y= negative x minus 1 y = negative x + 1 y = x minus 1 y = x + 1

Answer 1

The equation that represents the line that passes through the points A and C is y = x + 1

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation that has a constant rate or slope, and is represented by a straight line

The points are given as:

(x,y) = (2,3) and (-4,-3)

Calculate the slope, m using:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{-3 -3}{-4 - 2}$

Evaluate

m = 1

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m *(x - x1) + y1

So, we have:

y = 1 * (x - 2) + 3

Evaluate

y = x - 2 + 3

This gives

y = x + 1

Hence, the equation that represents the line that passes through the points A and C is y = x + 1
