Answer:
Equation: y = 4x + 1
See the attached for the graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- a slope of 4
- the point (-1, -3)
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
where:
- m is the slope
- (x₁, y₁) is a given point
1. Substitute the given values into the formula:
⇒ y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
⇒ y - (-3) = 4(x - (-1) [simplify]
⇒ y + 3 = 4(x + 1) [distribute 4 through the parentheses]
⇒ y + 3 = 4x + 4 [subtract 3 from both sides]
⇒ y + 3 - 3 = 4x + 4 - 3
⇒ y = 4x + 1
2. Check your work:
⇒ y = 4x + 1
⇒ -3 = 4(-1) + 1
⇒ -3 = -4 + 1
⇒ -3 = -3 ✔
The equation of the line is: y = 4x + 1

Answer: [tex]\textsf{y = 4x + 1, look at attached file for graph}[/tex]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given: [tex]\textsf{Slope = 4, Passes through (-1, -3)}[/tex]
Find: [tex]\textsf{The line that captures this information. Graph the equation}[/tex]
Solution: The first thing that we need to do is plug in the information into the point-slope formula which we would then distribute, simplify, and solve for y to convert he formula into slope-intercept form.
Plug in the values
- [tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]
- [tex]y - (-3) = 4(x - (-1))[/tex]
Simplify the expression
- [tex]y + 3 = 4(x + 1)[/tex]
Distribute
- [tex]y + 3 = (4 * x) + (4 * 1)[/tex]
- [tex]y + 3 = 4x + 4[/tex]
Subtract 3 from both sides
- [tex]y + 3 - 3 = 4x + 4 - 3[/tex]
- [tex]y = 4x + 4 - 3[/tex]
- [tex]y = 4x + 1[/tex]
Now that we have the equation fully created and simplified we can begin to plot the equation. So we know that the y-intercept would be (0, 1) since the equation states that and we also know that we would have another point at (-1, -3) which we can also draw and then we can just draw a line in-between them.
