The equation of a line is Y = mX + B.
Where m is the slope and B is the Y-intercept.
Given: Y+-+7+=+-4%2A%28X+%2B+8%29
Multiply the -4 through.
Y+-+7+=+-4X+-+32
Add 7 to both sides.
Y+=+-4X+-+25
The slope is -4.

y-7=-4(x+8)
Put in y = mx + c form
y = -4x - 32 + 7
y = -4x - 25
Slope of equation = -4 (B)
Hope this helps.
