Find the Equation of a line that has a slope of 5 and passes through ( 2, 8 ). Detailed answers would be appreciated.

First you need to fill in the given information into slope intercept form, so y=mx+b. Filling in what you know it would be 8=5(2)+b then just solve it from there like you would a normal equation to find your answer for b. Then plug in the answer you get for b into the original equation. Is this helpful or do you need me to walk you through more steps?
