the line whose equation we are trying to find out:

it goes through point (8, -3)
it has a slope of m=-3%2F4

the formula for the equation:
y=mx%2B%28y%5B1%5D-mx%5B1%5D+%29
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B%28-3-%28-3%2F4%298+%29
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B%28-3%2B%283%2Fcross%284%29%29cross%288%292+%29
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B%28-3%2B3%2A2%29+
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B%28-3%2B6%29+
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B3+
