The standard equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as;

y-y0 = m(x-x0) where;

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given

(x0, y0) = (4, 2)

From the coordinate;

x0 = 4 and y0 =2

slope m = 3

Substitute the given parameters into the equation as shown;

y-2 = 3(x-4)

Hence the linear equations given the point and slope id expressed as y-2 = 3(x-4)
