Find the equation of the line y = ax + b that passes through the points (-3, 2) and (2, -8).
A) $y = - 2 x + \frac { 28 } { 5 }$
B) $y = - \frac { 6 } { 5 } x + 1$
C) y= - 2x - 4
D) y= - 4x - 2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope (a) is calculated as (-8 - 2) / (2 - (-3)) = -2. Using point (-3, 2) to find b: 2 = -2(-3) + b, b = -4. Thus, the equation is y = -2x - 4.
