Slope-intercept form is mx + b = y where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We know m, which is 3, which makes the equation 3x + b = y, so we need to find b.  This is where the point comes in. We can fill in the x and y in the slope-intercept form an equation to solve for b.


3(9) + b = -4
27 + b = -4
b = -31

Therefore, the equation with the slope of 3 that passes through point (9, -4) is: 

3x - 31 = y.
