use point slope formula y-y1= m(x-x1):
point slope form:y+8=12/11 (x+3)
solve for y to get in slope intercept form:
slope intercept form:y=12/11x -52/11

Explanation:

If you're still confused you substitute your y value(-8) for y1 and your x value(-3) for x1 and your slope(12/11 ) for m in the point slope formula.

y- (-8)=12/11(x- (-3)) which is: y+8=12/11 (x+3)
