Explanation:

Hey there!

The given slope is; 3. And passing through point (-7,8).

Now,

Using one point formula.


(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Put all values to find equation.


(y - 8) = 3(x + 7)

Simplify them to get answer.


(y - 8 )= 3x + 21


3x - y + 21 + 8 = 0


3x - y + 29 = 0

Therefore the required equation is 3x-y+29=0.

Hope it helps...
