Answer:

point on line: (-3, -4) // slope: 4

Explanation:

This equation is written in point-slope form. This is the 'base' equation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

x1 represents the x-coordinate, and y1 represents the y-coordinate. m represents the slope. In your given equation, you see that the symbols before your coordinates are positive instead of negative in the 'base' equation. That is because your coordinates are negative on the plane. When placed in the point-slope form, the double-negatives will make a positive and therefore you see your coordinate numbers written in positives. Therefore, your x-coordinate is -3 and your y-coordinate is -4; the point is (-3, -4).

Slope is represented by m, and in your equation it's 4, or 4/1.

I hope this helps!
