What is the equation of the line with the given slope that contains the given points? m=4/5, (4,8)

Using the point-slope formula, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29, and with m+=+4%2F5, y%5B1%5D+=+8, and x%5B1%5D+=+4, we have:

y+-+8+=+%284%2F5%29%2A%28x+-+4%29

y+-+8+=+%284%2F5%29%2Ax+-+%2816%2F5%29

y+=+%284%2F5%29%2Ax+-+%2816%2F5%29+%2B+%2840%2F5%29

highlight_green%28y+=+%284%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+%2824%2F5%29%29, or highlight_green%284x+-+5y+=+-+24%29
