The point (-4,-3) is on a line with slope 3. Find two additional points on the line.
A) (-3,0) and (-5,-6)
B) (-1,-2) and (-7,-4)
C) (-7,-4) and (-10,-4)
D) (−3,−6) ( - 3 , - 6 ) (−3,−6) and (−5,0) ( - 5,0 ) (−5,0)
E) (−2,3) ( - 2,3 ) (−2,3) and (−5,−9) ( - 5 , - 9 ) (−5,−9)
Slope
A measure of the steepness or incline of a line, often represented as the ratio of the change in y over the change in x between two points on the line.
Line
A straight one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely in both directions.
- Identify further points on a linear path using a known point and its slope.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Using the slope formula, m=y2−y1x2−x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}m=x2−x1y2−y1 , where m=3m = 3m=3 , and one point is (−4,−3)(-4, -3)(−4,−3) , we can find other points on the line. For choice A, (−3,0)(-3, 0)(−3,0) gives a slope of 0−(−3)−3−(−4)=31=3\frac{0 - (-3)}{-3 - (-4)} = \frac{3}{1} = 3−3−(−4)0−(−3)=13=3 , and (−5,−6)(-5, -6)(−5,−6) gives a slope of −6−(−3)−5−(−4)=−3−1=3\frac{-6 - (-3)}{-5 - (-4)} = \frac{-3}{-1} = 3−5−(−4)−6−(−3)=−1−3=3 , matching the given slope.
