What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (-1,4) and (3,-4? Y-3=-2 (x+4)

Y-4=2 (x+3
Y+4=2 (x-3)
Y+4=-2(x-3)

Point slope form is where the second y and x of the equation is a point on the graph. In this problem, the x part would be (y+4) because the 4 is negative in the original point, and the y part would be (x-3), because the y value of the point is positive. The final answer is Y+4=-2(x-3), because the slope is negative, when you try to find the slope, you can tell that the line goes in a negative slope line,
