Answer:

A) y = -5/8x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y`1 / x2 - x1

7/2 - 11 / 4 - (-8)

-15/2  / 12

= -5/8

y = -5/8x + b

11 = -5/8(-8) + b

11 = 5 + b

6 = b

Answer:

Option (A)

y = - 5 / 8 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are

(x', y') = ( - 8, 11 )

(x'', y'') = (4, 7/2)

The equation o line passing through two points is given by

[tex](y - y') = \frac{y'' - y'}{x''-x'}(x-x')\\\\(y - 11)= \frac{\frac{7}{2}-11}{4+8} (x + 8)\\\\y - 11 = \frac{-5}{8}(x + 8)\\\\y -11 = \frac{-5x}{8} - 5\\\\y = \frac{-5x}{8} + 6[/tex]

So, option (A) is correct.
