Final answer:
Using the given points, the slope of the line is calculated as -3. Substituting into the slope-intercept form, and rearranging to the standard form 'Ax + By = 8', we find 'B = 1', which is not among the options, indicating a possible error in the provided question.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of 'B' in the equation 'Ax + By = 8' that contains the points (0, -9) and (-3, 0), we can use the two points to determine the slope (m) and then find the equation of the line.
The slope of the line through points (x1, y1) = (0, -9) and (x2, y2) = (-3, 0) is calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (0 - (-9)) / (-3 - 0) = 9 / -3 = -3
Now, using the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we can find 'b' (the y-intercept) when x=0:
y = -3x + b
Since the line passes through (0, -9), we substitute x=0 and y=-9:
-9 = -3(0) + b
b = -9
Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -3x - 9. Now we rearrange this to match the given form, Ax + By = 8:
3x + y = -9
Comparing this with Ax + By = 8, it's clear that B = 1, which is not one of the options provided. So there seems to be an error in the question as presented.
