Assume we want to graph -2yx = 8.
Divide both sides by -2x, so we have:
y = -4/x
This equation gives two hyperbolas, one in Quad. II and another in Quad. IV. You can graph the function by substituting each x value for the expression to determine the full coordinates of the points. Finally, plot them on the graph and connect them with a line.

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.
The graph of the equation y=8 is a horizontal line through the y-intercept of 8. This is because since y=8, any point on the graph will have a y-coordinate of 8. This is why it is a horizontal line through (0,8).
It seems there might be a typo in your question. If you meant to ask about the inequality ( x < 8 ), the graph would be a number line with an open circle at 8, indicating that 8 is not included, and shading to the left to show all numbers less than 8. In interval notation, this is expressed as ( (-\infty, 8) ). If you meant something else, please clarify!

The type of graph you would use would be a PICTURE GRAPH or a TALLY CHART
better graph would be a line graph
I would think a bar graph or column graph would be best for this.

If you were to graph both equations side by side, you would see that they are parallel lines. Both equations have the same slope it is just that the line would be moved down in the graph because of the intercept change.
