Since the equation is in slope-intercept form, the constant term is the coordinate of the -intercept. Plot the point . The slope is the coefficient on in the slope-intercept form. The slope is the rise over the run, so in this case the rise is 8 and the run is 5. Starting at move 5 units to the right and then move 8 units up. Plot the point at your destination: . Draw a straight line through the two plotted points.
