You can solve this by plugging the given information into point-slope form, which is y - [tex] y_{1} [/tex] = m (x - [tex] x_{1} [/tex]). So plug in m for m, the y coordinate (5) for y_{1} , and the x coordinate (2) for x_{1}.
y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1} Substitute the variables
y - 5 = 4 (x - 2) Use the Distributive Property
y - 5 = 4x - 8 Add 5 to both sides
y = 4x - 3
