Point-Slope form of the equation is

color(crimson)(y + 5 = (3/4)* (x - (20/3))

Explanation:

Forms of linear equation :

Slope - intercept : y = m x + c

Point - Slope : y - y_1 = m * (x - x_1)

Standard form : ax + by = c

General form: ax + by + c = 0

Given : m = (3/4), y intercept = -5

:. y = (3/4) x - 5#

When x = 0, y = -5#

When y = 0, x = 20/3#

Point-Slope form of the equation is

color(crimson)(y + 5 = (3/4)* (x - (20/3))
