Question

Given that the points (16, −5) and (−40, 16) lie on a line, what is the equation of the line? Select two answers.

A.

y=−38x+1

B.

y=−83x+1

C.

y+5=−38(x−16)

D.

y+5=−83(x−16)

Answer 1

My answers are D and A

Answer 2

For the points you gave, the slope is - 21/-56 or -3/8

None of your choices show that slope
In C, did you mean
y+5=−3/8(x−16)
If so, it would be a correct choice.
