Question

Which point lies on the line with point-slope equation y - 3 = 4(x + 7)?

A.
(7, 3)

B.
(7, -3)

C.
(-7, -3)

D.
(-7, 3)

Answer 1

D. (-7, 3)

Explanation:

The equation given is in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

This is where:

y1 is the y-coordinate of a point it goes through

m is the slope of the line

x1 is the x-coordinate of a point that it goes through

That said, in the given equation:

y1=3

m=4

x1=-7

Note that a point is (x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

Therefore, (-7, 3) is the point that lies on the line.
