You'll be using point slope form to solve this.
As the name suggests, you'll need the slope as well as a point. To find the slope use the slope formula:
Plug in the points.
The slope of this line is 5.
Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1), so plug in the slope and a point into this equation. I'll use (0,8).
y-(8) = 5(x-(0))
1. Write this out without parentheses.
y-8 = 5(x)
2. Multiply 5 and x.
y-8 = 5x
3. Add 8 to both sides.
y = 5x+8
