Answer:


y=-(3)/(4)x+11

Explanation:

The equation of the line that passes through the point
(x_1,y_1) and has the slope of
m is


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

In your case, a line passes through the point (8,5) and has a slope of
-(3)/(4), so its equation is


y-5=-(3)/(4)(x-8)\\ \\y-5=-(3)/(4)x+6\\ \\y=-(3)/(4)x+11
