Assuming that it is actually the line slope that is 8, the equation is y = 8x - 7.

To work out the equation of a straight line the slope and an (x, y) coordinate must be given
If the slope is m, then the equation is y - 7 = m*(x + 3)
Point: (7, -5) Slope: -4/7 Equation: 7y = -4x-7
There is a standard equation for a straight line. It is y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (when x = 0). In the question m = -4 and is therefore the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 7.
