To determine if the point (1, 8) makes the equation \( y = x - 7 \) true, we can substitute \( x = 1 \) into the equation and see if the resulting \( y \) value is equal to 8.
Substituting \( x = 1 \):
\[
y = 1 - 7
\]
\[
y = -6
\]
Since the result is \( y = -6 \), which is not equal to 8, the point (1, 8) does not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the answer is **false**.
