Step-by-step explanation:
This is a straight line equation. We only need two points to draw a straight line.
Choose two different numbers, put them into the equation instead of x, and calculate the value of y.
[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{8}x+2[/tex]
for x = 8
[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot8+2=-\dfrac{8}{8}+2=-1+2=1[/tex]
for x = -8
[tex]y==-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot(-8)+2=\dfrac{8}{8}+2=1+2=3[/tex]
Mark the points in the coordinate system and draw a straight line through the given points.
