Answer

Graph shown below

Explanation:

In order to graph something, you need to know the slope and why intercept of the line. One way to do this is to put the equation into slope-intercept form. Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = your y-intercept. One way to put the equation -2x = y = 8 into the slope-intercept form is to add the -2x to the other side of the equation. Then you will get y = 8 + 2x. Now, because of the commutative property of addition, you can write the equation as y = 2x + 8. Then graph the equation. Since you know that 8 is a y intercept. You can graph the first point of your line. After, you just use slope (which is 2/1) and graph other points on a graph to get you your line. Hope this helps!
