Which equation represents the line that passes through points (1, –5) and (3, –17)?

y=-6x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a line that passes through the points (1, -5) and (3, -17), the equation of this line will be y=-6x+1. For verification, -6+1=-5, so the first point is true, and -18+1=-17, so the second point is true as well.

Hopefully the answer is correct and the explanation helps!

thus, the first answer choice, y = sec x, is the correct one
