Consider the line that passes through the points (0, 4) and (-1, 3). Below are two different equations. Identify the true statement concerning both equations.
Equation #1 Equation #2
y - 4 = 1(x - 0) y - 3 = 1(x - 1)

Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Only equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Both equation #1 and equation #2 represent the line that passes through the two given points.

Neither equation #1 nor equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points.
Just replace the points in the equations and look at the relationships that are true.

For (0,4) y-4=x -> 4-4=0 (ok) 
     (-1,3) 3-1=-1

For (0,4) y-3=x-1 --> 4-1is different of 0-1 
    (-1,3) 3-3 is different of -1-1
