Aline contains the point (8,-5). if the slope of the lines is 5/7, write the equation of the line using point-slope form

This is a linear function of the form y = mx + b, 

m = 5/7 (given) → y = (5/7).x + b. This function passes through (8, -5), where 
(x=8) & (y= -5)
 To calculate b , replace x & y by their respective values:

-5 = (5/7).(8) + b; → -5 = 40/7 + b;→ b= -5 - 40/7 = -75/7, 
Finally the equation is y= f(x) = (5/7).x -75/7

Ithink it’s b, hope this .
