Answer:
A. y = -5x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of the equation of a line is given as
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
where m is the slope and x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point on the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Given the points (1,6) and (3, -4)
m = (-4-6)/(3-1)
=-10/2
= -5
The equation of the line will be
y - 6 = -5(x -1)
y - 6 = -5x + 5
Add 6 to both side
y = -5x + 5 + 6
y = -5x + 11
