PLEASE HELP ME!!! WORTH 10 POINTS!!!!
Write the point-slope form of the given line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (4, 1). Identify (x1, y1) as (0, -3). Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

Answer :

First, solve for slope.
Formula for slope: [tex] \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} [/tex]
Plug in values: [tex] \frac{1-(-3)}{4-0} = \frac{4}{4} = 1[/tex]
Slope: [tex]1[/tex]
Second, we must plug into point-slope form. 
Formula for point-slope: [tex]y-y1 = m(x-x1)[/tex]
Plug in the values: [tex]y - (-3) = 1(x-0) = y + 3 = 1(x-0)[/tex]

And there you have your answer in point-slope form.
