Q. A line is graphed in the xy-plane shown. Which of the following is an equation of the line, if the line passes through the points (0,0) and (2,−3)?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=23x(B) y=32x(C) y=−23x(D) y=−32x
Calculate the slope: To find the equation of the line, we first need to calculate the slopem using the two given points (0,0) and (2,−3). The slope is given by the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1.
Substitute coordinates into slope formula: Substitute the coordinates of the points into the slope formula: m=2−0−3−0=2−3.
Determine the y-intercept: The slope of the line is m=−23. Since the line passes through the origin (0,0), the y-interceptb is 0. Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept formy=mx+b is y=−23x+0, which simplifies to y=−23x.
Write the equation in slope-intercept form: Now we compare the equation y=−23x with the given options to find the correct one. The correct option is (C) y=−23x.
