Answer: 3x+y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line that has slope(m) and passes through point (a,b) is given by :-

[tex](y-b)=m(x-a)[/tex]

Given: Point = (3,-4)

Slope =-3

Then, the equation of the required line:

[tex](y-(-4))=-3(x-3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y+4)=-3(x-3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+4=-3x+9\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x+y=9-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x+y=5\ \ \ \ [\text{Standard form: Ax+By=C}][/tex]

Hence, required equation: 3x+y=5
