Mark the intercept-points #(8/3, 0)# on the x-axis y = 0 and #(0, 2)# on the y-axis x = 0. The graph is the straight line through these points.

Explanation:

Divide both sides by 8 to get the intercept-form
#x/(8/3) + y/2 = 1#.

The intercepts are #8/3# on the x-axis y = 0 and 2 on the y-axis x + 0.
