Answer:

  y -1 = 5/6(x +8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation of a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line through point (h, k) with slope m

For point (-8, 1) and slope 5/6, the equation is ...

  y -1 = 5/6(x +8)

Additional comment

If you want a line with slope -3/4 through the same point, change 5/6 to -3/4:

  y -1 = -3/4(x +8)
