Explanation:

It appears you have given a point (-1, 4) and the slope (m) is 3. It seems like you want to work with this information, possibly to find an equation of a line.

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

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where (x1, y1) is the given point, and m is the slope.

Using your given point (-1, 4) and the slope m = 3, you can plug these values into the equation:

y - 4 = 3(x - (-1))

Now, simplify:

y - 4 = 3(x + 1)

To put it in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), expand and solve for y:

y - 4 = 3x + 3

Now, isolate y:

y = 3x + 3 + 4

y = 3x + 7

So, the equation of the line with a slope of 3 passing through the point (-1, 4) is y = 3x + 7.
