Answer:

y + 5 = (3/4)x

Explanation:

You want to rewrite Y=3/4X-5 in POINT SLOPE FORM?

Point-slope form looks like y-k = m(x-h), where (h,k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Starting with Y=3/4X- 5, identify the slope and one point on the line. The slope is (3/4) (please surround fractions like this inside parentheses) and the y-intercept is (0, -5). We will let h=0 and k= -5.

Thus, we have a point on the line and we have the slope of the line.

We can now write the point-slope form:

y - (-5) = (3/4)(x - 0), or y + 5 = (3/4)x. This is the desired equation in point-slope form.
