&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;y-3 = (-1)*(x-8).     &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>ANSWER</U>



Solved.


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

<H3>Explanation on HOW TO do:</H3>

<pre>
    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.
</pre>
