Given the equation:


-8x-y=8

To graph the line, first, find two points on the line.

(a)When x=0


\begin{gathered} -8x-y=8 \\ -8(0)-y=8 \\ 0-y=8 \\ y=-8 \\ \implies(0,-8) \end{gathered}

(b)When x=-2


\begin{gathered} -8x-y=8 \\ -8(-1)-y=8 \\ 8-y=8 \\ y=8-8=0 \\ \implies(-1,0) \end{gathered}

Join the points (0, -8) and (-1, 0) using a straight line.

Answer:

The graph is attached below:
