Explanation:

this is the equation for a line in slope-intercept form

the y-intercept is 9, so find (0,9) on the graph

then, the slope is -8/3 (think "rise" over "run"), so from the point (0,9) you have to count down 8 (for -8) and then to the right 3 (for +3). from this point, you can now repeat the pattern of counting down 8 and right 3 and making points to connect.

when at least two points are connected, you have a line and that is your graph
