m=8 is the slope

(2,-7) is a point on the line

y = mx + b is the equation


Steps:

(1) fill in what you know

y=8x + b

(2) plug in the coordinate

-7=8(2)+b

(3) solve for b

-7 = 16 + b

-16 -16

-----------------

-23 = b

(4) plug in what you found out

y = 8x - 23


That would be your answer.


Hope I helped!!
