The sum of z1 and z2 is 8+i

If this would be like graphing y=8+x, it would be a line with slope = 1 and a y intercept of 8. I hope that's what you mean.

Draw a line from (0,0) to (5, 3i). Now draw a line from (5,3i) to (8,+i). Intraveling from (5,3i) to (8+i) you simply added 3-2i to 5+3i. It's just like adding two vectors.
