Answer:

Question 1: Option C: y -6 = 8(x+4) is the correct answer.

Question 2: Option B: y-1=0 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Question 1(In Picture):

Given point is: (-4,6) and

Slope: m = 8

The point-slope form of equation of a line is given by:

y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the point from which the line passes. Putting (-4,6) in the equation and slope

y -6 = 8(x+4)

Hence,

Option C: y -6 = 8(x+4) is the correct answer.

Question 2:

Given point is: (3,1) and

Slope: m = 0

The point-slope form of equation of a line is given by:

y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the point from which the line passes. Putting (-4,6) in the equation and slope

$y -1 = 0(x-3)\\y-1 = 0$

Hence,

Option B: y-1=0 is the correct answer.
