this is a horizontal line at y=-8/5
and x can be anything
the slope is zero
y is always -8/5
so when x=0 y=-8/5

Normally we want

where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
in our example we have

which means

or m = 0 and b = -8/5.
to graph
first plot -8/5 on the y-axis.
second move up 0 and over 1 (rise / run) and place a dot.
connect the dots to find a long horizontal line.
