To determine if the point (8, 1) makes the equation \(y = 8x\) true, we can substitute \(x = 8\) into the equation and see if it yields \(y = 1\).
Starting with the equation:
\[
y = 8x
\]
Substituting \(x = 8\):
\[
y = 8(8) = 64
\]
Since \(y\) equals 64 when \(x\) is 8, and the point (8, 1) has \(y = 1\), then (8, 1) does not satisfy the equation \(y = 8x\).
Therefore, the answer is **no**, (8, 1) does not make the equation true.
