Three of the forms for the equation of a line are:

*Slope-intercept


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{ Where} \\ m\text{ is the slope and} \\ \text{b is the y-intercept of the line} \end{gathered}

*Standard


ax+by=c

*Point-slope


\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ \text{ Where} \\ \text{m is the slope and} \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ is a point through which the line passes} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation of the line that is in its point-slope form is:


\begin{gathered} y+3=8\mleft(x-8\mright) \\ \text{ Where} \\ 8\text{ is the slope and} \\ (8,-3)\text{ is a point through which the line passes} \end{gathered}

and the correct answer is option B.
