Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (−3, −1) with a slope of 4. (1 point) y = 4x − 11 y = 4x + 11 y = 4x + 7 y = 4x – 7 y − 3 = 4(x + 1) y + 3 = 4(x − 1)

Answer 1

To find the answer, we can use the equation y-y1=a(x-x1), since we already have a point that the line passes through and we know the slope of the line. So, we can plug in our known values into the equation, making it y+1=4(x+3) since the double negatives end up making our values positive. Then, we can continue solving it by distributing the 4, which makes our equation y+1=4x+12. Then, we can subtract 1 from both sides, making the answer y=4x+11.
