### Parameterization of a Line through a Given Point with a Specific Slope

**Question:**
Which of the following is a parameterization of the line that passes through the point \((-1, -2)\) with a slope of 4?

**Options:**

1. \( x = 3t \) and \( y = 4t - 2 \), for any \( t \)
2. \( x = t + 3 \) and \( y = 4t + 1 \), for any \( t \)
3. \( x = 2t \) and \( y = 4t - 7 \), for any \( t \)
4. \( x = \tan t \) and \( y = 4\tan t + 2 \), for \( -\frac{\pi}{2} < t < \frac{\pi}{2} \)

**Analysis:**

- A parameterization of a line in a plane involves expressing the coordinates \( (x, y) \) as functions of a parameter \( t \).
- The general form of the parameterization of a line passing through a point \( (x_0, y_0) \) with slope \( m \) is:
  \[ x = x_0 + at \]
  \[ y = y_0 + bt \]
  where \( b = ma \).

- Given the point \( (-1, -2) \) and slope \( 4 \), the correct parameterization must reflect these characteristics.

- Let's analyze each option to see which fits the requirements.

**Option 1:**  
\[ x = 3t \]
\[ y = 4t - 2 \]

- This does not pass through \( (-1, -2) \) when \( t = 0 \).

**Option 2:**  
\[ x = t + 3 \]
\[ y = 4t + 1 \]

- This does not pass through \( (-1, -2) \) when \( t = 0 \).

**Option 3:**  
\[ x = 2t \]
\[ y = 4t - 7 \]

- This does not pass through \( (-1, -2) \) when \( t = 0 \).

**Option 4:**  
\[ x = \tan t \]
\[ y = 4 \tan t + 2 \
