Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.
(4, -7); m = -1/4

• y +7 = -1/4(x - 4)
• y - 4 = -1/4(x + 7)
• y+ 7 = 4(x - 4)
• y - 7 = -1/4(x - 4)

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope:
 (-2, -1); m= -3

• y + 1 = -3(x - 2)
• y + 1 = -3(x + 2)
• y - 1 = 3(x - 1)
• y + 2 = -3(x + 1)

y - 3 = 2(x + 4),
which of the following is true?

• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (4, -3)
• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (3, -4)
• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (-4, 3)
• The line has m = 2 passing through the point (-3, 4)
