8. For any positive number $a$ not equal to 1, the graph of the inverse function of $f ( x ) = \log _ { a } ( x + 3 )$ always passes through point $P$. Then the coordinates of point $P$ are $\_\_\_\_$ $(0, -2)$
Analysis: The graph of $f ( x ) = \log _ { a } ( x + 3 )$ passes through the fixed point $( - 2,0 )$, so the graph of its inverse function passes through the fixed point $( 0 , - 2 )$\\
