y=mx%2Bb


system%288=m%2A5%2Bb%2C0=m%2A%28-5%29%2Bb%29

system%285m%2Bb=8%2Cb=5m%29

simple substitution: 5m%2B5m=8
10m=8
5m=4
highlight%28m=4%2F5%29
-
b=5m
b=5%284%2F5%29
highlight%28b=4%29
-
EQUATION in slope-intercept form is highlight%28y=%284%2F5%29x%2B4%29.


You also want as point-slope form which may take a format y-k=%284%2F5%29%28x-h%29.

y-4=%284%2F5%29x
