Q:

Which equation represents a line that passes through two points in the table

Accepted Solution

A:
c.Β y - 3 = 2/3(x-3)

Nothing much to do here except examine each equation and plug in the numbers to see if it's true.

a. y + 3 = 3/2(x+3)
Try 3,3
3 + 3 = 3/2(3+3)
6 = 3/2(6). And no need to go further, it's obviously not equal.

b. y - 3 = 3/2(x-3)
Try 3,3
3 - 3 = 3/2(3-3)
0 = 3/2(0). OK. Let's try 6,5
5 - 3 = 3/2(6-3)
2 = 3/2(3)
2 = 9/2 And it's not true, so check the next one.

c. y - 3 = 2/3(x-3)
Try 3,3
3 - 3 = 2/3(3-3)
0 = 0. Check 6,5
5 - 3 = 2/3(6-3)
2 = 2/3(3)
2 = 2. Good. Both sample points work. This is the correct answer.
Just to be sure, let's check the next option

d. y + 3 = 2/3(x+3)
Try 3,3
3 + 3 = 2/3(3+3)
6 = 2/3(6). And doesn't match.
