"which equation represents a line that contains the point (6,8) with a slope of 5?"

(6,8), m = 5
y - y1 = m(x - x1) {point-slope form}
y - 8 = 5(x - 6) {substituted into point-slope form}
y - 8 = 5x - 30 {used distributive property}
y = 5x - 22 {added 8 to both sides}

y = 5x - 22 {the equation in "slope-intercept form"}
or
5x - y = 22 {the equation in "standard form"}
