Answer:

5x-4y = -32

Explanation:

We can first get an equation in point slope form since we have a point and a slope

y-y1 = m ( x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y- -2 = 5/4(x- - 8)

y+2 = 5/4 (x+8)

Multiply each side by 4 to get rid of fractions

4(y+2) = 5/4 *4 (x+8)

4(y+2) = 5(x+8)

Distribute

4y+8=5x+40

Subtracy 4y from each side

8 = 5x-4y+40

Subtract 40 from each side

8-40 = 5x-4y

-32 = 5x-4y

5x-4y = -32
