The point-slope equation would be
y = 1/8x + 3/4

Answer:

y+2=.25(x+3)

Explanation:

The point slope form is shown as follows

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

We know that the slope (m) is equal to .25 and that x₁=-3 and y₁=-2

We can plug this in and get

y-(-2)=.25(x-(-3))

Simplify the signs to get

y+2=.25(x+3)
