How do I plot this in slope intercept form?

y = -3x + 8 and 3x + y = -5

Oops!  There's a sign error in the conversion of the second equation:
3x+y = -5
y = -3x-5  (or y=-5-3x)
 
Otherwise, good job!  I like the fact that you explain what you're doing instead of just "here it is".  That's real teaching!
 
No matter how long we've been doing this stuff, we all still make an occasional error with a +/- sign!
