question 50

Multiple Choice

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
-Passing through $( - 4 , - 4 )$ and $( - 2 , - 7 )$

• A) \(y + 4 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( x + 4 )\) or \(y + 7 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( x + 2 )\)
• B) \(y - 4 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( x - 4 )\) or \(y - 7 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( x - 2 )\)
• C) \(y + 4 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } x - 4\) or \(y + 7 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } x + 4\)
• D) \(y + 4 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( x + 2 )\) or \(y + 7 = - \frac { 3 } { 2 } ( x + 4 )\)
