Question

Write an equation that represents the line passing through the point -3, -1 with a slope of 4

Answer 1

Equation that represents the line passing through the point -3, -1 with a slope of 4 is

`y= 4x+11`

Explanation:

Equation of line in point slope form is

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)` -------(1)

Here

`m=4 \ \ \ and \ \ \ (x_1, y_1) = (-3, -1)`

Substituting values in equation (1)

`y+1=4(x+3)\\ y= 4x+11`
