Which point below would you use with the point (-2,-5) to get a line with a slope of -1? A. (4,1)
B. (1.4)
C. (-6, 1)
D. (-1,-6)

(D): (-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Find

Slope (m) is calculated using:

Substitute values for m, x1 and x2

Cross Multiply:

Make y the subject

Only (D): (-1,-6) satisfy this condition:

Substitute -1 for x2 and -6 for y2.

Hence:

(D): (-1,-6) is true

just needed some points but try socratic

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
