Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-3, -1) with a slope of 4.

y = 4x - 11

y = 4x + 11

y = 4x + 7

y = 4x - 7

Answer 1

The answer is B.
(y+1) = 4(x+3)
y=4x+11. Just plug in

Answer 2

@natalie135 can you help explain this to me?

Answer 3

Ya so the equation for a line is:
\[(y-y _{1})=m(x-x _{1})\]
We plug in the points that were given: (-3, -1) for x1 and y1.
The slope is 4, which corresponds to m.
\[(y-(-1)=4(x-(-3))\]
Make sense?
