Question 150768
A line has a general form of y=mx+b.
When x=0, the y intercept,
{{{y=mx+b}}}
{{{y=m(0)+b}}}
{{{y=b}}}
{{{In this case, y=8.
{{{y=b=8}}}
When y=0, the x-intercept,
{{{y=mx+b}}}
{{{0=mx+b}}}
{{{x=-b/m}}}
{{{5=-8/m}}}
{{{m=-8/5}}}
Put it all together,
y=mx+b}}}
{{{y=-(8/5)x+8}}}
{{{ graph( 300, 300, -2, 10, -2, 10, -(8/5)x+8) }}}
