Please see below.

.

#5x+8# is an algebraic expression that can have different values based on the value of #x#. For example:

If #x=3# then #5x+8= 5(3)+8=15+8=23#

If #x=5# then #5x+8=5(5)+8=25+8=33#

#5x+8# can also represent a linear function which would have a graph of a straight line.

#y=5x+8#

This is in the form of:

#y=mx+b# where #m# is the slope and #b# is the #y#-intercept.

In #y=5x+8#, #m=5# and #b=8#

The graph is:
