Answer:

y = 3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the equation in point-slope form is easier.  The result can then be put into slope-intercept form.

The point-slope formula is y - k = m(x - h).  With the given point (h, k) being (4, 4), h = 4 and k = 4.  The slope is 3.  Therefore, we have:

y - 4 = 3(x - 4), or

y = 4 + 3x - 12

This simplifies to the slope-intercept form y = 3x - 8
