Q. Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points (3,−11) and (6,−20) ?I. 6x+2y=−2II. y+21=−3(x−6)NeitherI onlyII onlyI and II
Calculate Point-Slope Form: Now that we have the slope, we can use one of the points and the slope to write the equation of the line in point-slope form, which is y−y1=m(x−x1). Let's use the point (3,−11) and the slope −3. y−(−11)=−3(x−3)y+11=−3x+9 Now, let's move everything to one side to get the standard form of the line, Ax+By=C. y=−3x+9−11y=−3x−2 So, the standard form is 3x+y=−2.
Check Equation I: We need to check if either of the given equations matches the equation we found.Let's start with equation I: 6x+2y=−2.To compare it with our equation, we can divide everything by 2 to simplify it.(6x+2y)/2=−2/23x+y=−1This equation does not match our equation 3x+y=−2, so equation I is not correct.
Check Equation II: Now let's check equation II: y+21=−3(x−6). We can distribute the −3 and move everything to one side to get the standard form. y+21=−3x+18y=−3x+18−21y=−3x−3 This equation does not match our equation 3x+y=−2 either, so equation II is not correct.
Final Answer: Since neither equation I nor equation II matches the equation we derived from the points (3,−11) and (6,−20), the correct answer is "Neither."
