Question 1099845: Which of the following represent(s) an equation of the line passing through the points A(5, 6) and B(4, 8). More than one can be chosen
y = -2x – 4
y = -2x + 16
y – 6 = -2(x – 5)
2x + y = 16
2x + y = -16

Two ways to solve. Either substitute for both points to each equation and see which equation hold both points; or find the equation from the two given points and compare which of the listed equations matches.

Line for AB has slope of ,
-------using point-slope equation form formula;


After that,

---------now the equivalent equation in slope-intercept form.
-
Standard Form?

----------standard form for AB.


Make your choices.
