[ 1 ]

Any equation with a slope m can be expressed in the form of :

y = mx + c

Here m = -3/4 ;
Line is passing through (3,5)

Substituting in std. equation ,

5 = -3/4(3) + c
---> 5 = -9/4 + c
---> c = 5 + 9/4 = 29/4

Hence ,

Equation of line is :-

y = -3x/4 + 29/4 Ans.

[ 2 ]

Line is passing through ( -4 , -7 )

Therefore x = -4 ; y = -7

+ It's a vertical line

Hence , equation of line -
x + 4 = 0 Ans.

[ 3 ]

Any equation with a slope m can be expressed in the form of :

y = mx + c

Here m = -3 ;
Line is passing through ( -2 , 3 )

Substituting in std. equation ,

3 = -3(-2) + c
---> 3 = 6 + c
---> c = -3

Hence ,

Equation of line is :-

y = -3x - 3

[ 4 ]

Line is passing through ( -15 , 11 )

Therefore x = -15 ; y = 11

+ It's a Horizontal line

Hence , equation of line -
y - 11 = 0 Ans.

Hope it helps you :)
