y + 8 = 4(x - 5)
distribute the 4 to both x and -5
4(x) = 4x
4(-5) = -20
y + 8 = 4x - 20
isolate the y, subtract 8 from both sides
y + 8 (-8) = 4x - 20 (-8)
y = 4x - 28
plug in the x given, if the y matches the answer given, it is the correct answer.
-8 = 4(5) - 28
-8 = 20 - 28
-8 = -8 (True)
D) (5,-8) should be your answer
hope this helps
