Answer:

y -10 = 1/8(x +8)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

You have m = 1/8, and (h, k) = (-8, 10).

Putting those numbers in the form gives ...

y -10 = 1/8(x -(-8))

You can simplify the double minus sign so you have ...

y -10 = 1/8(x +8)

_____

Additional comment

A lot of math is about matching patterns and making substitutions. This is a good example of that.
