Graph y=8x

Problem

y=8*x

Solution

1. Identify the type of equation. The equation y=8*x is in the slope-intercept form y=m*x+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2. Determine the y-intercept. Since there is no constant term added to 8*x the y-intercept is b=0 This means the line passes through the origin (0,0)

3. Determine the slope. The slope is m=8 This represents a "rise" of 8 units for every "run" of 1 unit to the right.

4. Find a second point. Starting from (0,0) move right 1 unit and up 8 units to find the point (1,8)

5. Draw the line. Plot the points (0,0) and (1,8) on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line passing through both points.

Final Answer

y=8*x
