The answer is (E)
\n" ); document.write( "E. y = –x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "putting in (–3,7), we get
\n" ); document.write( "7 = -(-3) + 4
\n" ); document.write( "7 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "putting in (5,-1), we get
\n" ); document.write( "-1 = -5 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "-1 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
