Question 975385: Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
Slope = 4, passing through (-3, 7)
One answer I have came up with is; y=4x - 19
A second answer is; y+7=4(x+3)
Now I am confused on which formula to use and am sure I am overthinking this.

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
Slope = 4, passing through (-3, 7)
One answer I have came up with is; y=4x - 19
A second answer is; y+7=4(x+3)
Now I am confused on which formula to use and am sure I am overthinking this.
==================
y-y1 = m*(x-x1)
y-7 = 4(x+3)
y-7 = 4x+12
y = 4x+19
