Answer:


\large\boxed{3x-4y=-48}

Explanation:

The standard form of an equation of a line


Ax+By=C

We have the eqution in the point-slope form:


y-4=(3)/(4)(x+8)

Convert it to the standard form:


y-4=(3)/(4)(x+8) multiply both sides by 4


4y-16=3(x+8) use the distributive property


4y-16=3x+32 add 16 to both sides


4y=3x+48 subtract 3x from both sides


-3x+4y=48 change the signs


3x-4y=-48
