Answer:


\huge{ \bold{y - 3 = 7(x +9)}}

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point-slope form is represented by the formula


y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

where

(x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope

From the question the point is (-9,3) and m = 7

So we substitute the given variables into the formula and solve

We have


y - 3 = 7(x - - 9) \\ y - 3 = 7(x + 9)

Hope this helps you
