Complete this table of points, by substituting the given value
for which letter is given into the equation, and solving for the 
other letter.

x | y
--|--
  | 7
8 |
  | 2
-4|
  |-8

Then plot those points on graph paper like this.
They should all be in a straight line if you did them correctly.
Then draw a straight line through them.

%285%29%280%29-4y=-8----------------y=2
point: (0,2)

5x-4%2A0=-8-----------------x=-8%2F5
point: (-8/5, 0)

Plot those two points and draw line through them.
