Answer:

The line that would satisfy a slope of 4 and pass through (-2,7) is y = 4x + 15

Explanation:

Using Point-Slope Form:


y-y_(0) = m(x-x_(0) ), where m is slope,
y_(0) is the y-coordinate, and
x_(0) is the x-coordinate.

Plug in your known values:

y-7=4(x+2)

Finally Distribute and Isolate y:

y=4(x+2)+7

y=4x+8+7

y=4x+15
