.

The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is


     = .


In your case   = 7;   = 4;  m = .



Therefore, you write your equation as


    y - 4 = .    ANSWER

Solved.

===============

Notice that  @MathLover1 writes the equation in other form - in the  "slope intercept form",

while my solution and my answer are in the  "point-slope form",  as it is requested in the problem.
