y+4=4(x-2).

Point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)

We can insert the equation by putting our slope (4) as m. Our y1 (-4) counters the subtraction sign, so that side of the equation will be y+4. Our x1 is positive, so it can be easily inserted into the formula (x-2).

Basically; insert the terms into the point-slope formula :)!

Hope this helped

Answer:

y+4=4(x-2)

Explanation:

point slope form is
y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) ), where m=slope

Plug it in

y-(-4) = 4(x-2)

y+4=4(x-2)
