(a) The given equation is  
$$
y - 4 = 2(x - 8)
$$  
This is in the point-slope form  
$$
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
$$  
where  
$$
(x_1, \, y_1) = (8, 4) \quad \text{and} \quad m = 2.
$$

(b) The given equation is  
$$
y + 6 = -4(x + 2)
$$  
This can be rewritten as  
$$
y - (-6) = -4(x - (-2))
$$  
so in the point-slope form,  
$$
(x_1, \, y_1) = (-2, -6) \quad \text{and} \quad m = -4.
$$
(a) The graph passes through the point (8, 4) and has a slope of 2. (b) The graph passes through the point (-2, -6) and has a slope of -4.
