4x + 3y = -24 (option D)
Explanation:
To determine the orrect option, we would find the equation of the line.
Equation of line: y = mx + c
m = slope, c = y-intercept
Using the slope formula:
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We would use any two points on the graph.
Using points: (-6, 0) and (0, -8)
[tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=-6,y_1=0,x_2=0,y_2\text{ = -}8 \\ m\text{ = }\frac{-8-0}{0-(-6)} \\ m\text{ =}\frac{-8}{0+6}=\frac{-8}{6}=-\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis and the value of x is zero. It crosses the line at y = -8
The equation of line becomes:
y = -4/3 x + (-8)
y = -4/3x - 8
Multiply both sides by 3:
3(y) = 3(-4/3 x) - 3(8)
3y = -4x - 24
3y + 4x = -24
4x + 3y = -24 (option D)
