The equation y = x + 8 uses the slope intercept form
Remember that the slope intercept formula is:
y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this case
y = 1x + 8
m = 1
y = x + 8
b = 8 OR y-intercept of this line is (0, 8)
You can plot the point (0, 8) on a graph. Then to find the next point you will rise up 1 and over right 1 (this is the slope). You can find another point after that by going down one and left one from the point (0, 8)
The graph should look like the one in the image below

Answer:
|x - 5| = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are not given a zero on the number line, we do the following:
Average = midpoint between two numbers on the number line
For this number line,
Average = 3 + 7 ÷ 2
Average = 5
Next we find how many units away are each number from the middle:
3 is 2 units away from 5
7 is 2 units away from 5
Units away = 2
Let's use the formula:
|x - average| = Units away
Substitute values into equation
|x - 5| = 2
Now we solve
Solve for x over the integers:
|x - 5| = 2
Split the equation into two possible equations:
x - 5 = 2 or x - 5 = -2
Add 5 to both sides:
x = -5 + 5 = 2 + 5 or x - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5
Answer:
x = 7 or x = 3
