Answer

The equation in the point slope form

y - 6 = 4 (x - 3)

Simplifying further,

y - 6 = 4x - 12

y = 4x - 12 + 6

y = 4x - 6

OR

y - 4x = -6

OR

-4x + y = -6

OR

-4x + y + 6 = 0

Step-by-step explanation

The general form of the equation in point-slope form is

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

y₁ = This refers to the y-coordinate of a given point on the line

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

x₁ = x-coordinate of the given point on the line

For this question,

Slope = m = 4

(x₁, y₁) = (3, 6)

x₁ = 3

y₁ = 6

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 6 = 4 (x - 3)

Simplifying further,

y - 6 = 4x - 12

y = 4x - 12 + 6

y = 4x - 6

Hope this Helps!!!
