Which equation correctly represents the line in slope-intercept form? A. y = -1/4x-6 B.y=1/4x-6 C.y=-4x+6 D.y=4x+6

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, - 4) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{-4+6}{8-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 6 ) ⇒ c = - 6
y = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x - 6 → B
