Answer:

y

+

2

=

3

4

(

x

11

)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is given by the following formula:

y

y

1

=

m

(

x

x

1

)

In order to use the point slope formula we need two things:

1. The slope or

m

which in this case is

4

3

2. A point on the graph which we are given

(

2

,

11

)

Along with the slope, if we let

(

2

,

11

)

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

we can substitute all this information into the point-slope formula:

y

2

=

3

4

(

x

11

)

Simplify:

y

+

2

=

3

4

(

x

11

)

hope I helped you:)
