Points (x,y) and (3,-4) have a slope m=3.

%28y-%28-4%29%29%2F%28x-3%29=3-----------do what you need to, from this.

y = mx+b

You are given m=3; to find b, use the coordinates of the given point: (x,y) = (3,-4).

y+=+mx%2Bb
-4+=+3%283%29%2Bb
-4+=+9%2Bb
-13+=+b

Now you have all you need to write the equation.

y+=+3x-13
