Find parametric equations to represent the line segment from $( - 3,4 )$ to $( 12 , - 8 )$. Select the correct answer.
A) $x = - 3 - 15 t , y = 4 - 12 t , 0 \leq t \leq 1$
B) $x = - 3 - 15 t , y = 4 - 12 t , 0 \leq t \leq 2$
C) $x = 8 - 15 t , \quad y = 4 - 12 t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 2$
D) $x = - 3 + 15 t , y = 4 - 12 t , 0 \leq t \leq 1$
E) $x = 3 + 15 t , \quad y = 4 - 12 t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 1$

Using the point-to-point formula we get:
$$x = -3 + 15t \quad 	ext{and} \quad y = 4 - 12t$$
for $0 \leq t \leq 1$. Therefore, the answer is D.
