Answer:

y + 3 = -1/4(x - 8)

Explanation:

I think I answered your question before.

The point slope formula is:

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where m=slope and (x₀, y₀) are the points on the graph.

They gave you (8, -3) for your (x₀, y₀), and m=-1/4.

x₀=8 and y₀=-3 in this case.

Just plug it into the equation

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

y - (-3) = (-1/4)(x - (8))

y + 3 = -1/4(x - 8)
