First, let's recall the point-slope form equation: ↪
`\mathrm{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}`.

where: y₁ = y-coordinate of the point (the second coordinate), m=slope, x₁=x-coordinate (the first coordinate).

Let's stick in the values accordingly. We obtain the following:
`\mathrm{y-8=\cfrac{3}{4}(x-4)}`, which is our point-slope form equation.
