Any linear equation in the form
y-haty = m(x-hatx)y−ˆy=m(x−ˆx)
is in point-slope form with a slope of mm running through the point (hatx,haty)(ˆx,ˆy)

The given form: y=6/7(x+5)-4.1y=67(x+5)−4.1
can easily be converted to slope-point form as
y- (-4.1) = 6/7(x- (-5)y−(−4.1)=67(x−(−5)
with a slope of 6/767 running through the point (-5,-4.1)(−5,−4.1)
