Question 398211: Consider the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11). Below are two different equations. Identify the true statement concerning both equations.
#1 y -11 = 2(x - 6)
#2 y - 3 = 2(x - 2)
A Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points.
B Only equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.
C Both equation #1 and equation #2 represent the line that passes through the two given points.
D Neither equation #1 nor equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Hi
line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11)

(2, 3) and
(6, 11) m = 3-11 / 2-6 = -8/-4 = 2
y = 2x + b |using ordered pair Pt(2,3) to solve for b
3 = 4 + b
-1 = b
y = 2x - 1
#1 y -11 = 2(x - 6) | y = 2x -1
#2 y - 3 = 2(x - 2) | y = 2x - 1
