Which equation represents the line passing through the points (4, −1) and (1, 0)? select one: a. x + 3y = 1 b. 3x + y = 1 c. x − 3y = −1 d. −x + 3y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient of a line =( y2 - y1)/x2 - x1

From the question, x1=4,y1=-1,x2=1,y2=0.

Therefore, substitute for these values in the above formula

m = 0-(-1)/1-4

= 0+1/-3

= -1/3.

Therefore, y-y1/x-x1 = -1/3

y - y1 = -1/3(x - x1)

y - (-1) = -(x-x1)/3

y+1 = - (x - 4)/3

Multiply through by 3

3y+3= -x+4

3y +x=4-3

x+3y= 1

Therefore the answer is A.

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
