Answer:

y = x + 7

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 1, thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 4) into the partial equation

4 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 3 = 7

y = x + 7 ← equation of line

Hope this helps.
