The slope-intercept form:


y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope
m=-(1)/(4)\to y=(1)/(4)x+b

and point (8, -3). Substitute:


-3=-(1)/(4)(8)+b


-3=-2+b add 2 to both sides


-1=b\to b=-1

Answer:
y=-(1)/(4)x-1


The point-slope form:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute:


y-(-3)=-(1)/(4)(x-8)\\\\\boxed{y+3=-(1)/(4)(x-8)}\to\boxed{D.}}
