Answer:
y = 1/4x - 5
Explanation:
If gradient or slope (m) equal to 1/4
then y - y¹ = m( x - x¹) ..........(1)
where the line happen to be passing through the point given above
therefore let x¹ be 8.........(2)
and y¹ be -3...............(3)
substitute (3) and (2) into (1)
we have y -(-3) = 1/4 (x - 8)
so 4(y+3)= (x-8)
4y = x - 8 - 12
therefore y = 1/4x - 5
