Looking at we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is

Since this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis

So we have one point

Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means

Also, because the slope is , this means:

which shows us that the rise is 8 and the run is 5. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 8 and over 5

So starting at , go up 8 units

and to the right 5 units to get to the next point

Now draw a line through these points to graph

So this is the graph of through the points and

The equation to the straight line is .
This means the slope is and y-intercept is +5.

Hence, first select the point (0,5) on the y-axis. This is point A.
Next, go 5 units right (positive x direction) and 8 units up (positive y direction). This is point B.
Join these two points and extend on both sides you will get your line.
