Substituting values from the domain will give the corresponding values from the range.

Practice makes perfect
Let's graph using a table. First select some arbitrary values from the domain, then substitute them for x in the given equation. Solving for y will give us the corresponding values from the range.
x
y-8=- x
Simplify
-2
y-8=-(-2)
y= 10
0
y-8=-(0)
y= 8
2
y-8=-(2)
y= 6
Using these x and y values as ( x, y) coordinate pairs, we can plot the points. Connecting these points will give us the graph of the equation.
