A. y = 1/10x + 3/10
B. y = 5/11x + 20/11
C. y = 5/12x + 3/12
D. y = 1/13x + 3/13
E. y = 5/14x + 3/14

=>


Since AB = CO = 4, we have point C(-4, 0).

Then the slope of the line AC is (5 - 0) / (7 - (-4)) = 5/11.
The equation of the line AC is y - 0 = (5/11)(x - (-4)) or y = (5/11)x + 20/11.

Therefore, B is the answer.
Answer: B
