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 \( y = 1 \).
Substituting \( x = 8 \):
\[
y = 8(8) = 64
\]
Since the calculated value \( y = 64 \) does not equal \( 1 \), the point (8, 1) does not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the answer is **false**.
