Answer:

the slope intercept-form of an equation of a line is y=mx+b

Given that the slope is 3 and a point on the line is P(-2, 4), then

m=3 and from the point (-2, 4), x=-2 and y=4.

Explanation:

y=mx+b.

4=3(-2)+b Now solve for b.

4=-6+b

4+6=b

10=b

Now you know b=10 and you already know the slope m=3. Substitute these values into y=mx+b. When you do you will get y=3x+10. This is your answer in slope intercept form.
