M=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-6-1)/(8-8)=-7/0 which is technically undefined. This is just a vertical line namely:
x=8 (you can think of a vertical line as having infinite slope)
The question is just a black box. I would like to help you if you could attach a pic of the problem

Step-by-step answer:
The domain of log functions (any legitimate base) requires that the argument evaluates to a positive real number.
For example, the domain of log(4x) will remain positive when x>0.
The domain of log_4(x+3) requires that x+3 >0, i.e. x>-3.
Finally, the domain of log_2(x-3) is such that x-3>0, or x>3.
