Answer:

B

Explanation:

To determine which point lies on the line, substitute the x- coordinate of the point into the equation and if the value equals the y- coordinate of the point then it lies on the line.

A (4, 8)

y = - 3(4) + 4 = - 12 + 4 = - 8 ≠ 8 ← not on line

B (4, - 8 )

y = - 3(4) + 4 = - 12 + 4 = - 8 ← lies on line

C (- 4, 8 )

y = - 3(- 4) + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 ≠ 8 ← not on line

D (- 4, - 8 )

y = - 3(- 4) + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 ≠ - 8 ← not on line

The point lying on the line is (4, - 8 ) → B
