$y+1=3(x+4)" " "$ 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...
