Answer:
D : y = 7x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
let D be the line that passes through the points (4, 8) and (2, -6)
Then D has an equation of the form D: y = ax + b
Now we need to find a and b in order to be able to write the equation of the line D:
[tex]a = \frac{8-(-6)}{4-2}=\frac{14}{2}=7[/tex]
Since the point (4, 8) lies on the line D then :
8 = 7 × (4) + b
then
8 = 28 + b
then
b = 8 - 28
= -20
Conclusion:
Since a = 7 and b = -20 then
D : y = 7x - 20
