I'm taking the same final test.
The answer is y= 1/4x - 5
How? Well in this case we are using the formula y= mx + b
Substituting it with the given point (8, -3) and the slope 1/4
it'll look like -3 = 1/4 (8) + b
Next we solve.
-3 = 1/4 (8) + b
-3 = 8/4 + b
-3 = 2 + b
-2 -3 = b
-5 = b
so we now we know that b = -5.
All we have to do is substitute that into the equation to get our final answer (this time, without the point 8,-3).
Our answer in the end is y = 1/4x -5
