(y - color(red)(3)) = color(blue)(4/5)(x - color(red)(5))

Explanation:

The point-slope formula states: (y - color(red)(y_1)) = color(blue)(m)(x - color(red)(x_1))

Where color(blue)(m) is the slope and color(red)(((x_1, y_1))) is a point the line passes through.

Substituting the values from the problem gives:

(y - color(red)(3)) = color(blue)(4/5)(x - color(red)(5))
