The line passes through the y-axis at point (0,4).

Explanation:

On a coordinate plane, line DF goes through points (-1,-3) and (2,3).

So, the slope of the line DF is \frac{- 3 - 3}{- 1 - 2} = 2

−1−2

−3−3

=2

Then the straight line which is parallel to DF will be given by

y = 2x + c.

Where, c is any constant and we have to evaluate it if this line passes through the point (-4,-4).

So, - 4 = 2(- 4) + c

⇒ c = 4

So, the straight line which is parallel to DF and passes through the point (-4,-4) is y = 2x + 4.

Now, putting x = 0, we get, y = 4.

Therefore, the line passes through the y-axis at point (0,4). (Answer)
