Answer: y-4=-3(x+4) or y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line with a given point and slope, we can fill them into the point-slope formula. The point-slope formula is y-y₁=m(x-x₁).

y-4=-3(x-(-4))            [multiply]

y-4=-3(x+4)

Another equation could be slope-intercept form. It is y=mx+b.

y-4=-3(x+4)              [distribute]

y-4=-3x-12                [add both sides by 4]

y=-3x-8

Now, we know that the equation is y=-3x-8 or y-4=-3(x+4).
