Answer:

y+

Explanation:

Point-Slope form- (y − y 1) = m ⋅ (x − x 1)

Slope: m = 4

Point: (x1, y1) = (3, -2)

Answer: y + 2 = 4 ⋅ (x - 3)

Answer:

The answer is

y + 2 = 4( x - 3)

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line given a point and slope we use the formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m is the slope

(x1 , y1) is the point

From the question

slope = 4

point = ( 3 , - 2)

Substitute the values into the above formula

We have

y + 2 = 4( x - 3)

Hope this helps you
