Question
Which equation represents the line that passes through points B and C on the graph?
On a coordinate plane, point A is at (1, 4), point B is at (negative 4, 2), point C is at (negative 2, negative 2) and point D is at (5, negative 4).
y = negative 2 x minus 6
y = negative 2 x + 10
y = 2 x minus 6
y = 2 x + 10

First find the slope: m = (-2 - 2)/(-2 - (-4)) = -4/2 = -2.
Use point-slope with B(-4,2): y - 2 = -2(x + 4) → y = -2x - 6.
So the correct equation is y = -2x - 6.
