Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-3, -1) with a slope of 4.
A) y = 4x - 11
B)y = 4x + 11
C)y = 4x + 7
D) y = 4x - 7

Answer 1

y=mx+b is the general setup for this; m is the slope; they all have a slope of 4

Answer 2

soo, the next simplest thing to do might be to just use the point values and see whcih one fits

Answer 3

(-3,-1) is the point; so, x=-3 y=-1

lets try that in one of the options

y = 4x + 7
-1 -3
-----------
-1=-12+7 is false so that aint it

Answer 4

for each choice, replace x with -3 and y with -1 and do the arithmetic.
if it is the right answer, then the right side will equal the left side.

Answer 5

amistre did the 3rd choice as an example.
