Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$y + 4 = -\frac{8}{5}(x-3)$

$y + 4 = -\frac{8}{5}x-\frac{8}{5}(-3)$

$y + 4 = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{24}{5}$

$y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{24}{5}-4$

$y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{24}{5}-\frac{20}{5}$

$y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{24-20}{5}$

$y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{4}{5}$
