Answer:

y = 3x - 7

Explanation:

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = 4; y₁ = 5; m = 3 Substitute the values

y – 5 = 3(x - 4) Remove parentheses

y – 5 = 3x - 12 Add 5 to each side

y = 3x - 7

The graph is a straight line with a y-intercept at y = -7 and a slope = 12/4 = 3.
