y=-5x+8 the slope is -5.
No, y=8 is a fixed value. A linear equation would look something like y=x+8 - That would produce a straight line graph if the values of x & y were plotted against each other on a graph.

They are the same equation just written differently so they are both easy to graph.
The graph shifts downward (negative y) by 9 units.

y=x+8 is a linear equation. Y is the Y point on a graph, X is the slope, and 8 is the y intercept

y=6
the graph is moved down 6 units
The first thing to not is that the only powers of x and y in the equation are one. That means the graph is a straight line. Any two points on a straight line determine the whole of the straight line. So solve the equation for x = 0 and for y = 0. Thus, when x = 0, the equation becomes y = 8 - 0 ie y = 8 so (0, 8) is a point on the graph. and when y = 0, the equation becomes 0 = 8 - x ie x = 8 so (8, 0) is another point on the graph. Join up these two points and extend the line further in both directions.
y=x-2
y = -0.5x plus or minus any number
