(\stackrel{x_1}{24}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{8} \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-5)}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{8}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{24}) \implies y +5= \cfrac{1}{8} (x -24) \\\\\\ y+5=\cfrac{1}{8}x-3\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=\cfrac{1}{8}x-8 \end{array}}
