Question

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

Answer 1

Thanks

Answer 2

To solve this equation, use the POINT - SLOPE formula where we are given a point and a slope.

The formula is
y−y1=m(x−x1)

The slope they give you is 4, so m = 4

The point they give you is (-3,-1) so (x1,y1) x1= -3, y1 = -1

Try not to get confused with the x's and y's. normal x and normal y will always stay the same but x1 and y1 are replaced with the points they give you.

Replace the variable with your values and get

y - (-1) = (4)(x-(-3))

Then simplify from there, hope that helps!
