Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
the y-intercept is b
the slope is m
enter these in, and you have y=3x-4

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is

y = (slope) x + (intercept). <== THIS is the important thing to remember.

You already have both numbers to plug into that form.
The equation of your line is
 y = 3x - 4

That's all there is to it.

Ok so for slope it's difference in y dividing by the difference of x. The difference of y is 10 - 6 which is 4, and the change in x is 5 - (-3) which is 8. Dividing 4 by 8 gets us 1/2. So the slope is 1/2. Slope intercept form would be y = mx + b, and the slope is 1/2 so it'd be y = (1/2)x + b. Plug in a point and you get b = 15/2. So the final slope intercept form would be y = (1/2)x + 15/2. For point slope form just put in a point and slope and you get y - 6 = (1/2) × (x + 3). Standard form would have to be arranged from slope intercept. So multiplying 2 to the slope intercept form we get 2y = x + 15. Subtracting x we get -x + 2y = 15. In standard form we don't want x to be negative so just multiply by negative one and we get x - 2y = -15.
