Answer:

A

Explanation:

the formula y = mx + b is used here

lets look at the formula we were given

y = 3/4x -3

the first number we see, 3/4x is the slope of the line, where 1 = a 45 degree angle towards the NORTH EAST corner from 0, in this case it is less then 1 so it is less steep then 45 degrees, how i remember is that i can plot a point using the numbers the the fraction in reverse and connect a line from 0,0 to that line

4,3 is a point that a line with this slope would cross, but not this line, because it does NOT start at 0,0 , instead it crosses the y-axis lower because we took some of b away, in this case -3, so the line moves down 3, not changing the slope

i hope this makes sence and you are able to use it in multiple problems like this, comment this if you have any questions

take care m8
