Subtract -4x on both sides to get to -2y=-4x-8, then you should divide -2 into both sides to get to the slope of y=2x+4 since two negatives would equal to a positive when dividing and multiplying. Because the slope is positive, it is safe to assume that the first two options A and B are the best options due to their slopes being positive and going up. The y-intercept is 4 which makes the answer A because on 0 it is on the positive side.
Answer: you could use any point on the coordinate plane it just has to have the x coordinate for an example ( -1,6 ) is a point you could use .... I dunno maybe i'm wrong another helper you can use is symbolab it really helps me with my homework ... anyways let me know if I helped.
The graph of y = 3x + 1 has a slope of 3, for it to be steeper the graph should have a slope of more than 3. Therefore, the equation to use is y = 7x + 1
