So first subtract x from both sides to get 2y=8-x.  Now divide each side by 2 to get y=4-1/2x. Now we are ready to graph. We need three points so we are going to substisute 0 into x. So if x=0 then y=4. Now if x=2 then y=3 and lastly if x=-2 then y=5. So to graph your ordered pairs would be (0,4),(2,3) and (-2,5). Hope this helps!!   </SPAN>\n" );
