Answer: B) y+4=-3*(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem we need to use the point slope formula, which is:

(y-y1)=m*(x-x1)

where (x1, y1) is the given point of the line, and m is the slope

so, replacing the given values we have that:

(y-(-4))=-3*(x-(-8))

y+4=-3*(x+8)

so the correct answer is option B.
