The line is
Explanation:
We can find out the equation of the line by using the slope formula because we already know two points on the line:
Now, using point-slope form, we can use the slope and the points that we know to create an equation for the line.
You could leave it like this, or you could convert it to slope-intercept form by expanding a little further:
I made a Desmos link with all of this stuff: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/c4hs3tfvrj
Neither of them
Explanation:
We can rewrite the equation, though, to best fit the answers (to compare).
Get rid of the -6 on the right side:
As you can see, the correct answer is not shown.
