y=10

Explanation:

y2=8

First, you want to get your equation closest to the y=mx+b format as possible. To do this, we'll be solving the equation as a one step problem:

y2=8

Add 2 to both sides to cancel out 2. You should now have:

y=10

Now, since this equation is on the y-axis, you'll be plotting your equation there. The slope is 0 in this case, and your y-intercept will be (0,10). Your line will be horizontal and continuous. Your graph will look like this:

graph{y = 0x + 10 [-29.34, 35.6, -4.15, 28.33]}
