Practice Question

What is the equation, in standard form, of the line that passes through the points (-3, -4) and (3, -12)?

Answer Choices

  • A: 4x + 3y = 24
  • B: 3x + 4y = -25
  • C: 4x + 3y = -24
  • D: 3x + 4y = -39

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Slope = (-12 - (-4))/(3 - (-3)) = -8/6 = -4/3. Use point-slope: y - (-4) = (-4/3)(x - (-3)), y + 4 = (-4/3)(x + 3). Convert to standard: 3y + 12 = -4x - 12, 4x + 3y = -24. Thus, the correct answer is 4x + 3y = -24.
