  x -3y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A plot of the points reveals the longer diagonal to be BD. (Also, point C is on that line.)

We can write the standard form equation of the line through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as ...

  (y2 -y1)x -(x2 -x1)y = (y2 -y1)x1 -(x2 -x1)y1

For points (-2, -2) and (16, 4), this equation is ...

  (4 -(-2))x -(16 -(-2))y = (4 -(-2))(-2) -(16 -(-2))(-2)

  6x -18y = -12 +36

Dividing by the greatest common factor (6), we have the standard-form equation ...

  x -3y = 4

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
