One way to find the slope-intercept form is to plug the given values into point-slope form, y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}), where x_{1} and y_{1} are the coordinate points and m is the slope. Then, you solve for y.

y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}) Plug in the values
y - (-4) = 34 (x - 5) Fix the minus negative four
y + 4 = 34 (x - 5) Use the Distributive Property
y + 4 = 34x - 170 Subtract 4 from both sides
y = 34x - 174

The slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34 is y = 34x - 174.
