Which of the point-slope equations below is correct for the line that passes through points (-4,-4) and (1,3)? Check all that apply.

Ay - 3 = 7/5(x - 1)
By - (-4) = 7/5(x - (-4))
Cy - 3 = 7/5(x + 1)
Dy + 4 = 7/5(x - 4)
Ey + 4 = 7/5(x + 4)

F. y + 4 = 5/7(x + 4)

Verified Answer :

Correct answer is E.

\((-4,-4) \Rightarrow x_1=-4,y_1=-4 \\ (1,3) \Rightarrow x_2=1,y_2=3 \\ \\y-y_1= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1) \\ \\ y-(-4)= \frac{3-(-4)}{1-(-4)} (x-(-4)) \\ \\ y+4= \frac{3+4}{1+4} (x+4) \\ \\y+4= \frac{7}{5}(x+4)\)
