Find Parametric Equations to Represent the Line Segment From $( - 3,4 )$

question 150

Multiple Choice

Find parametric equations to represent the line segment from $( - 3,4 )$ to $( 12 , - 8 )$ .

• A) \(x = - 3 - 15 t , y = 4 - 12 t , 0 \leq t \leq 1\)
• B) \(x = - 3 - 15 t , y = 4 - 12 t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 2\)
• C) \(x = 8 - 15 t , \quad y = 4 - 12 t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 2\)
• D) \(x = - 3 + 15 t , \quad y = 4 - 12 t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 1\)
• E) \(x = 3 + 15 t , \quad y = 4 - 12 t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 1\)
