Answer:

-1/4x + 1 ( If this is wrong then ignore this)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a problem like this is y - y1 = m(x - x1). The x coordinate, -8 is the x1 and the y coordinate 3 is x1. So the equation is y - 3 = -1/4(x + 8)

Equation:

y - 3 = -1/4(x + 8)

y - 3= -1/4x - 2

y = -1/4x + 1

Therefore the equation for the line is y = -1/4x + 1

Given parameters:

 Slope of the line  = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

 Coordinates of the points = (-8, 3)

Unknown:

Equation of the line = ?

Solution:

To find the equation of the line, we must note that any straight line can be represented by the equation;

        y  = mx + c

 where x and y are the coordinates

             m is the slope

              c is the y-intercept of the line

Input the parameters and solve for c;

     x = -8 and y  = 3;

         3  = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x (-8) + c

         3 = 2 + c

        c  = 1;

  So the equation of the line is ;

     y  = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]x + 1

     multiply through by 4;

   4y = -x + 4

The equation of the line is 4y = -x + 4
