#color(purple)(6x - y = 45#

Explanation:

Standard form of equation knowing one point and the slope is

#(y - y_1) = m * (x - x_1)#

#"Given : " (x_1, y_1) = (8,3), " Slope " = m = 6#

#:. " The equation is " (y - 3) = 6 * (x - 8)#

#y - 3 = 6x - 48#

#y - 6x = -48 + 3 = -45#

#color(purple)(6x - y = 45#
