To find the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, 35) and (-12, 34), we can follow these steps:
-
Determine the slope (\(m\)): The slope (\(m\)) can be determined using the formula: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 35)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-12, 34)\).
Plugging in the values: \[ m = \frac{34 - 35}{-12 - 0} = \frac{-1}{-12} = \frac{1}{12} \]
-
Use the point-slope form of the line equation: The point-slope form is given by: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] Using the point (0, 35), \[ y - 35 = \frac{1}{12}(x - 0) \] Simplifying this, \[ y - 35 = \frac{1}{12}x \] \[ y = \frac{1}{12}x + 35 \]
Thus, the equation of the line that passes through the given points is:
\[ y = \frac{1}{12}x + 35 \]
Now looking at the responses provided, none of them match this equation. The options seem to point to different slopes or intercepts. If we check consistency and simplify, we see they may have transcribed or misunderstood parts of the equation.
In conclusion, based on the calculations, the equation reflects a potential output not shown in the response options. Please double-check the available responses in case of discrepancies.
