Identify one point and the slope from the equation y + 4 = 1/3(x - 1)

Options:
m = 4 Point = (1/3, 1)

m = 1/3 Point = (1, -4)

m = 1/3 Point = (1, 4)

m = 1/3 Point = (-1, 4)

The slope is 1/3.

The point is 1,-4.

If you are wondering how I got the point, I just unsimplified the equation!

From y+4=1/3(x-1).

To y- -4=1/3(x-1).


The original formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). So we know where the y and the x is, and the slope.

Hope this helped!! :)
