Q. Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points (−4,−6) and (2,0) ?I. y+6=(x+9)II. 5x−5y=15NeitherI onlyII onlyI and II
Calculate Slope: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (−4,−6) and (2,0). The slope m is calculated using the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1. m=2−(−4)0−(−6)m=66m=1
Write Point-Slope Equation: Use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in point-slope form.We can use the point (2,0) and the slope m=1.The point-slope form is y−y1=m(x−x1).y−0=1(x−2)y=x−2
Check Equation I: Check if equation I, y+6=(x+9), represents the line with the slope found in Step 1.Rewrite equation I in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).y=−x−9+6y=−x−3The slope of this line is −1, which is not equal to the slope we found in Step 1 (m=1).Therefore, equation I does not represent the line passing through the points (−4,−6) and (2,0).
Check Equation II: Check if equation II, 5x−5y=15, represents the line with the slope found in Step 1.Rewrite equation II in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).5y=5x−15y=x−3The slope of this line is 1, which is equal to the slope we found in Step 1 (m=1).Now, we need to check if the line passes through one of the given points.
Verify Point in Equation II: Substitute the point (2,0) into equation II to verify if it satisfies the equation.y=x−30=2−30=−1This is not true, so the point (2,0) does not lie on the line represented by equation II.Therefore, equation II also does not represent the line passing through the points (−4,−6) and (2,0).
