Answer:

  C.  -7x- 5y = -48

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector AB is ...

  AB = B -A = (4, 4) -(-3, -1) = (4+3, 4+1) = (7, 5)

The dot-product of this vector and the one in the direction of the line through B will be 0:

  (7, 5)·(x -4, y -4) = 0

  7(x -4) +5(y -4) = 0

  7x +5y -48 = 0

Multiplying by -1 gives the form we see in answer choice C:

  -7x -5y = -48
