Question

what is the equation in plot slope form of the line that passes through the point (-1, -3) and has a slope of 4

Answer 1

Answer: plot slope form is y+3= 4(x+1)

or

y = 4x+1

Explanation:

Slope point form of equation is given by

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

where m is slope and (x1,y1) is the point

here (point) is (-1,-3) and slope = 4

so equation is

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

y+3 = 4(x+1)

y+3 = 4x+4

y = 4x +1

Answer 2

y+3 = 4(x+1)

Explanation:

Point slope form of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

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

y+3 = 4(x+1)
