The equation given is $y = \frac{8}{5}x - 5$. This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form, $y = mx + b$, where:

• $m$ is the slope.
• $b$ is the y-intercept.

For your equation:

• The slope $m$ is $\frac{8}{5}$, meaning that for every 5 units moved horizontally, the value of $y$ increases by 8 units.
• The y-intercept $b$ is $-5$, which means the line crosses the y-axis at $(0, -5)$.

Key Information:

• Slope: $\frac{8}{5}$
• Y-intercept: $-5$
• The graph will be a straight line.

Here are 5 related questions you might consider:

1. How do you find the x-intercept of a line?
2. What happens to the graph if the slope changes to a negative value?
3. How do you calculate the slope from two points on a line?
4. How can you determine if two lines are parallel?
5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to this one through the origin?

Tip: To find the x-intercept of the line, set $y = 0$ and solve for $x$.
