Directions: Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through each point with the given slope.

(-4, 12) m= 3/4
I think I know how to do this but I am not 100% sure.

Just arrange

y - 12 = (3/4)(x + 4)

into the type of equation you need.
I'll give you the next line:
4y - 48 = 3x + 12

Too bad you didn't show your work -- we could have confirmed or corrected it.

You know that the line with slope m, passing through (h,k) is
y-k = m(x-h)
so plug in your numbers.

To write an equation in point-slope form, you need to know the slope of the line and the coordinates of a point on the line. In this case, the slope is 3/4 and the point is (-4, 12).

The point-slope form of a linear equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of the point and m is the slope of the line.

Now, substitute the given values into the equation.

y - 12 = (3/4)(x - (-4))

Simplify the equation:

y - 12 = (3/4)(x + 4)

Now, you have the equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point (-4, 12) with a slope of 3/4.
