how do I graph the equation using the slope and the y-intercept y=8/5x+2
-------------
slope = 8/5 means "y increases 8 when x increases 5".
---
Plot your y-intercept at (0,2)
---
Move your pencil 5 to the right, then 8 up to the point (5,10)
----
Draw a line thru (0,2)(5,10)
That is the graph you want.
