\huge{\boxed{y-3=m(x+8)}}

Point-slope form is
y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where
m is the slope and
(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.

Substitute in the values.
y-3=m(x-(-8))

Simplify the negative subtraction to become positive addition.
\boxed{y-3=m(x+8)}

Note: This answer is in point-slope form. If this is not an answer choice, or if you prefer a different form for another reason, please let me know in a comment and I will be happy to provide another form of the equation.
