Default change background color of a cell with an "IF" command?

I have a command using the IF function that is as follows:
=IF(M3=80,"YES","NO")

I would like to be able to add a green background if the YES condition is
met and a RED background if the NO condition is met. is there a line of code
that will do this.

Use Conditional Formatting with the the formulas:

=$M$3=80

and

=$M$3<80
