    y-3 = (-1)*(x-8).         ANSWER


Solved.

-------------

Explanation on HOW TO do:


    1)  Since x-coordinate is 8, you write (x-8) in the right side.


    2)  Since y-coordinate is 3, you write y-3 in the left side.


    3)  Since the slope is -1, you use the factor (-1) at (x-8) in the right side.

It works for every/any/each similar problem.
