Coordinates of point G is (4, 8) .

Let coordinates of point H be (x, y).

Slope of GH , m = 3

Slope of GH is also given by

$\\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\ 3=\frac{y-8}{x-4}\\ \\ 3(x-4)=y-8\\ \\ 3x-12=y-8\\ \\ 3x-y=-8+12\\ \\ 3x-y=4$

Out of the given options the one that satisfies the given equation is (3, 5).

To check put x = 3 and y = 5 in the equation

3*3 - 5 = 4

9 - 5 = 4

4 = 4

ANSWER:  C)  (3, 5)
