The equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -7) with a slope of 4/3 is:
y = (4/3)x + b
where b is the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where (x1, y1) is the given point, and m is the slope. Substituting the given values into this formula, we get:
y - (-7) = (4/3)(x - 3)
Solving for y, we get:
y = (4/3)x + (-7 + (4/3) * 3)
y = (4/3)x + 4
So the equation of the line is:
y = (4/3)x + 4
