Answer:

D.

(-7, 3)

Explanation:

Given equation

y - 3 = 4(x + 7)

points are in form of (x,y) that is first value represent value of coordinate and

second value y represents value of y coordinates.

to find which point lies on given line equation we need to substitute value of x and see if value of y obtained is same as given in the option or not.

______________________________________

A.

(7, 3)

substituting x with 7 in the equation

y - 3 = 4(7 + 7)

=> y - 3 = 4(14)

=> y - 3 = 56

=> y = 56+3 = 59

Thus, we see value of y when x is 7 is 59

which is not equal to 3 as given in option A hence option A is not correct choice

B.

(7, -3)

As seen above for x = 7 , y is 59 hence option B is also incorrect

C.

(-7, -3)

substituting x with -7 in the equation

y - 3 = 4(-7 + 7)

=> y - 3 = 4(0)

=> y - 3 = 0

=> y = 0+3 = 3

Thus, we see value of y when x is -7 is 3

which is not equal to -3 as given in option C hence option C is not correct choice

D.

(-7, 3)

As calculated above value of y when x is -7 is 3

hence

option D is correct choice.
