Answer
Refer to the graph below.
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The point-slope form of a line's equation is given by $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where $m$=slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line.
The given equation can be written as:
$y-0=-1(x-8)$
Thus,
$m=-1$
$(8, 0)$ is a point on the line.
To graph this equation, perform the following steps:
(1) Plot the point $(8, 0)$.
(2) Use the slope to plot another point on the line.
From $(8, 0)$ move 1 unit down (the rise) and 1 unit to the right (the run) to reach $(9, -1)$. Plot $(9, -1)$.
(3) Connect the two points using a line.
