Answer:

The correct answer is the option D. y - 8 = 4(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and the slope, we can write the equation of the line as:


\begin{gathered} P=(x_0,y_0) \\ y-y_0=m(x-x_0) \end{gathered}

Where, P is the point given and m is the slope. In this case, P = (4 , 8) and m = 4

Thus,


y-8=4(x-4)
