Answer:

y-1= -4(x+3)

Explanation:

When finding point slope form, this is the format: y-y1=m(x-x1). First, plug in your coordinate to the equation. It should look like this: y-1=m(x+3). However, one thing you should know is if the coordinate is a negative, it becomes a positive in point slope form. Next, plug in the slope to the equation. This is your final answer: y-1= -4(x+3). Hope this helped!
