Answer:

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.
