Please and thank you for your help

Identify the correct x intercept and y intercept of the equation x - 2y = 8.
Answer
x intercept = (-2, 0); y intercept = (0, 8)
x intercept = (8, 0); y intercept = (0, -4)
x intercept = (-8, 0); y intercept = (0, -4)
x intercept = (8, 0); y intercept = (0, 4)

Answer 1

x-intercept: put y=0 and solve for x.
y-intercept put x=0 and solve for y.

x - 2y = 8.
to find x-intercept, put y=0, => x-0=8, so x=8 => (8,0)
to find y-intercept, put x=0 => -2y=8, so y=-4, => (0,-4)
