Question

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

Answer 1

B is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

B. $y+1=4(x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the point (-3,-1) where i will call $x_{1}=-3$ and $y_{1}=-1$

also we have the slope equal to 4, which is usually expressed by m, so $m=4$.

Now we use the point-slope equation:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

substituting all the values we know, we get:

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

solving the multiplications of signs:

$y+1=4(x+3)$

which is option B.
