y-3=4/11(x-11). Doing a problem like this is mostly memorizing point slope formula, by knowing y-y2=m(x-x1) you can just "plug" in 3 as your y1 and 11 as your x1 then finally 4/11 as your slope being y-3=4/11(x-11)

The required equation is,


y - 3 = (4)/(11) (x - 11)



Step-by-step explanation

The point given to us is,


(11,3)
and the slope is

m = (4)/(11)


We apply the point slope formula which is given as follows,


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We substitute the given point and the slope into the formula to obtain,


y - 3 = (4)/(11) (x - 11)
This is the equation of the given line in the point-slope form.

No need to simplify because it says point-slope form.
