question 116

Multiple Choice

Find the equation of the line passing through the indicated two points. Write the equation in point-slope form.
-(-7, 8) and (4, -8)

• A) \(y + 8 = - \frac { 16 } { 11 } ( x - 7 )\) or \(y - 8 = - \frac { 16 } { 11 } ( x + 4 )\)
• B) \(y - 8 = \frac { 5 } { 4 } ( x + 7 )\) or \(y + 8 = \frac { 5 } { 4 } ( x - 4 )\)
• C) \(y - 8 = - \frac { 16 } { 11 } ( x + 7 )\) or \(y + 8 = - \frac { 16 } { 11 } ( x - 4 )\)
• D) \(y + 8 = \frac { 5 } { 4 } ( x - 7 )\) or \(y - 8 = \frac { 5 } { 4 } ( x + 4 )\)
