Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is:


y+5=\:(4)/(3)\left(x-0\right)

The graph is also attached below.

Explanation:

Given

  • Slope m = 4/3
  • y-intercept = -5

We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and determining the corresponding value of y.

As we are given the y-intercept = -5

Thus, the point (0, -5) represents the y-intercept.

Point slope form:


y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • (x₁, y₁) is the point

In our case,

  • m = 4/3
  • (x₁, y₁) = (0, -5)

substituting m = 4/3 and the point (0, -5) in the point-slope form


y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)


y\:-\:\left(-5\right)\:=\:(4)/(3)\:\left(x\:-\:0\right)


y+5=\:(4)/(3)\left(x-0\right)

Therefore, the equation of the line in point-slope form is:


y+5=\:(4)/(3)\left(x-0\right)

The graph is also attached below.
