Answer:
y + 1 = (4)/(3)\left(x - 3\right)\\\\

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The given slope is
m = (4)/(3) and the line goes through the point
(x_1,y_1) = (3,-1)

This means
x_1 = 3 \ \text{ and } \ y_1 = -1

We will plug this information into the point-slope formula below and simplify.


y - y_1 = m\left(x - x_1\right)\\\\y - (-1) = (4)/(3)\left(x - 3\right)\\\\y + 1 = (4)/(3)\left(x - 3\right)\\\\

We stop here since your teacher wants the answer in point-slope form. As the name implies, point-slope form is very handy to quickly spot the slope and a point on the line.

If your teacher wanted the answer in slope-intercept form, then you'd solve for y to get it into y = mx+b form.
