Answer:


y-7=(3)/(4)(x-8)

Explanation:

A line is represented by the following equation in the slope-point form:


\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ where, \\ m=\text{ slope} \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ given point} \end{gathered}

Therefore, if the line passes through the point (8,7) and has a slope of 3/4:


y-7=(3)/(4)(x-8)
