When a linear equation (no exponents on the variables) is written in the form:
this is known as slope intercept form. In this case the m value is the slope and the b value is the y-intercept. So the y-intercept in your equation is 8 and the slope is -3.

y=mx+b is the point-intercept form
y=-3x+8 is already in this form
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 8
