Question 520219
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Since the equation is in slope-intercept form, the constant term is the *[tex \Large y] coordinate of the *[tex \Large y]-intercept.  Plot the point *[tex \Large \left(0,\,5\right)].  The slope is the coefficient on *[tex \Large x] 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 *[tex \Large \left(0,\,5\right)] move 5 units to the right and then move 8 units up.  Plot the point at your destination:  *[tex \Large \left(0\,+\,5,\,5\,+\,8\right)\ =\ \left(5,\,13\right)].  Draw a straight line through the two plotted points.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
