#y+1=3(x+4)" " "#Equation in Point-Slope Form

From the given
We have a point #(x_1, y_1)=(-4, -1)#
with slope #m=3#

The point-slope form of the line is:

#y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#

just substitute the given

#y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#

#y-(-1)=3(x-(-4))#

then simplify

#y+1=3(x+4)" " "#Equation in Point-Slope Form

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful...
