Answer:

$\boxed {\tt D. \ y=8x+-3}$

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope is 8 and the y-intercept is -3. Therefore,

$m=8 \\b= -3$

Substitute the values into the form.

y=mx+b

y=8x+(-3)

y=8x-3 or
y=8x+-3

Let's look at the choices. The choice that matches our answer is D. y=8x+-3
