The standard form for the equation of a line is:

In which m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept
Since the slope of the line is already given, we can use the point given to find the y-intercept.

Using the point (8,19) as (x,y) we replace x and y in the equation

Simplify both sides of the equation

solve the equation for b, when substracting 16 on both sides of the equation

the equation of the line is
