Since your question doesn't specify what form you need your answer in, I’ll answer in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept form looks like this: y = mx + b.

m represents slope, b represents y intercept. we already have the slope, 2. To find the y intercept, we can plug in the given values for x and y and solve for x.

y = 2x + b

5 = 2(8) + b

5 = 16 + b

- 11 = b

so, the y intercept is - 11. we can plug this into your equation.

y = 2x - 11

There you go! this is your final answer.
