Explanation:

in such a case the easiest approach might be using the point-slope form of a line equation :

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

with m being the slope, and (x1, y1) being a point on the line.

so, in our case that would be

y - 8 = 8(x - 4)

simplified this would be

y - 8 = 8x - 32

y = 8x - 24

FYI - this would be then the slope-intercept form (-24 would be the intercept point on the y-axis).
