\green{ \boxed{\boxed{\begin{array}{cc} \maltese \bf \: \: \: we \: know \: that \: \\ \sf \: if \: any \: equation\:of \: line \: which \: slope (m) \\ \sf \: and \: passes \: through \: (x_1,y _1) \: \: then \: its \\ \sf equation \: is \: : \\ \\ \red{ \boxed{ \bf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}}\bf\end{array}}}}

Given that,

A equation of the line with a slope of m = 4 and that contains / passes through the point (5, 8).

So,


\green{ \boxed{\boxed{\begin{array}{cc} \bf \: x_1 = 5 \: \: \: \\ \bf y_1 = 8 \\ \bf \: m \: = 4 \: \: \end{array}}}}

NOW,

The equation is :


\green{ \boxed{\boxed{\begin{array}{cc} \bf \: y - 8 = 4(x - 5) \\ \\ = > \bf \: y - 8 = 4x - 20 \\ \\ = > \pink{ \boxed{\bf\:4x - y - 12 = 0}} \end{array}}}}

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 4 that contains the point (5, 8).-example-1

Answer:

y = 4x - 12

Explanation:

y = 4x + b

8 = 4(5) + b

8 = 20 + b

-12 = b
