Answer: y=6x+22
Explanation:
1. we first start with the equation y=Mx+b
2. Then we plug in the slope (6) into M
3. Now you have y=6x+b
4. Now you plug in your point (-3,4) into the y and the x values
5. You are now stuck with 4=6(-3)+b
6. Now multiply 6 and -3 which gets you -18
7. Your new equation is now 4=-18+b
8. Now add 18 to both sides of the equals sign
9. Now you have 4+18=b
10. Add 4+18 which gets you 22. B is 22
11. Plug b into the equation and turn the values of x and y back to those letters
12. You now have the answer of y=6x+22
