Question 419197
"graph the equation using the slope and the y-intercept.
y = 5/3x + 8"


Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept


In y = 5/3x + 8
slope = 5/3
y-intercept = 8


To graph:
- start by putting a point on 8 on the y-axis, that is the y-intercept
- from there, go up 5 and to the right 3, and put another point (since the slope is 5/3....rise/run}
- draw a line through the two points
