it went from 8 to 6.5, namely 8 - 6.5 = 1.5.
if we take the 8 to be the 100%, what is 1.5 off of it in percentage?

well, we can round that up to 18.8%, however since it's a subtraction from the board, we can say is -18.8%, a negative percent, because is a percent that was taken out of it.
Step-by-step explanation:
(-3,5) and (x,y)
Slope = (y - 5)/[x - (-3)] = (y - 5)/(x + 3)
(y - 5)/(x + 3) = -1/4
y - 5 = -1/4(x + 3)
y - 5 = (-1/4)x - 3/4
y = (-1/4)x - 3/4 + 5
y = (-1/4)x + 17/4.
