Answer:

The answer is: y = 3/8x + 28/8

Explanation:

Given point: (4, 5)

Given slope m = 3/8

Uset the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 3/8(x - 4)

y - 5 = 3/8x - 12/8

y = 3/8x - 12/8 + 5

y = 3/8x - 12/8 + 40/8

y = 3/8x + 28/8

Proof, use point (4, 5):

f(x) = 3/8x + 28/8

f(4) = 3/8(4) + 28/8

= 12/8 + 28/8

=40/8 = 5, giving (4, 5)
