Question 221026
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[1] = m(x - x[1])}}}, and with {{{m = 4/5}}}, {{{y[1] = 8}}}, and {{{x[1] = 4}}}, we have:


{{{y - 8 = (4/5)*(x - 4)}}}


{{{y - 8 = (4/5)*x - (16/5)}}}


{{{y = (4/5)*x - (16/5) + (40/5)}}}


{{{highlight_green(y = (4/5)*x + (24/5))}}}, or {{{highlight_green(4x - 5y = - 24)}}}
