Answer:

a.i.

[tex]mab = \frac{ya - yb}{ xa - xb} = \frac{8 - 4}{9 - 12} = \frac{4}{ -3} [/tex]

a.ii.

[tex]mc = mab = \frac{4}{ - 3} \\ (y - y1) = m(x - x1) \\ y - ( - 2) = \frac{4}{ - 3}(x - 4) \\ y + 2 = \frac{4}{ - 3}x + \frac{16}{3} \\ y = \frac{4}{ - 3} x + \frac{16}{ 3} - 2 \\ y = \frac{4}{ - 3}x + \frac{10}{3} [/tex]
