Q. A line is graphed in the xy x y -plane shown. Which of the following is an equation of the line, if the line passes through the points (0,0)(0, 0) and (2,3)(2, -3)??\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) y=32x y=\frac{3}{2} x \newline(B) y=23x y=\frac{2}{3} x \newline(C) y=32x y=-\frac{3}{2} x \newline(D) y=23x y=-\frac{2}{3} x
  1. Calculate the slope: To find the equation of the line, we first need to calculate the slope mm using the two given points (0,0)(0, 0) and (2,3)(2, -3). The slope is given by the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.
  2. Substitute coordinates into slope formula: Substitute the coordinates of the points into the slope formula: m=3020=32m = \frac{-3 - 0}{2 - 0} = \frac{-3}{2}.
  3. Determine the y-intercept: The slope of the line is m=32m = -\frac{3}{2}. Since the line passes through the origin (0,0)(0, 0), the y-intercept bb is 00. Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b is y=32x+0y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 0, which simplifies to y=32xy = -\frac{3}{2}x.
  4. Write the equation in slope-intercept form: Now we compare the equation y=32xy = -\frac{3}{2}x with the given options to find the correct one. The correct option is (C) y=32xy = -\frac{3}{2}x.
