To write the equation of a line in point-slope form when you have the point (8,4) and a slope of 5/4, you can use the following formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where:
- (x1, y1) is the given point, which is (8, 4) in this case.
- m is the slope, which is 5/4 in this case.

Now, plug in the values:

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

This is the equation in point-slope form for the given line passing through (8, 4) with a slope of 5/4.
