1. Problem Description

The problem states that the equation of a line is given by y5=m(x+8)y - 5 = m(x + 8), where mm is the slope of the line. We need to find a point that must lie on this line.

2. Solution Steps

The given equation is in point-slope form:
yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line and mm is the slope.
Comparing the given equation y5=m(x+8)y - 5 = m(x + 8) with the point-slope form yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), we can identify the point (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1).
We have y5=m(x(8))y - 5 = m(x - (-8)).
Therefore, x1=8x_1 = -8 and y1=5y_1 = 5.
Thus, the point (8,5)(-8, 5) must lie on the line.

3. Final Answer

(-8, 5)
