Shearing with invariant line What does it mean for a shear to have an invariant line x = 2? Trying to shear a point **(5, 8)** by a factor of 4.

A widely-applicable method for solving problems like these is to transform to a more convenient coordinate system, apply a simpler operation, then translate back.

In this case, the invariant line is parallel to the $y$-axis. Presumably you know or can work out how to perform a shear parallel to the $y$-axis that leaves the $y$-axis fixed. So, translate $x$ by $-2$ to put this line on the $y$-axis, perform the shear, then translate back.
