The graph of y = x - 8 is a straight line. The slope of the line is 1, and it intersects the y-axis at the point y = -8.
When you plug in x = 0, you get y = 8. When you plug in x = 8, you get y = 0. So the graph of y = x - 8 (which is clearly linear, a straight line, because it only has x to the first power) is the graph of the straight line that goes through the points (0,8) and (8,0).
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.
Just label one axis x and the other axis y. Voila!! x y graph!
