Question

Identify the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of the equation 2x - y = 8.

intercept = (2, 0); y-intercept = (0, -8)

x-intercept = (4, 0); y-intercept = (0, -8)

intercept = (2, 0); y-intercept = (0, 8)

intercept = (4, 0); y-intercept = (0, 8)

Answer 1

if we put it into y=mx+b form we can find the y intercept
2x-y=8
-y=8-2x
y=-8+2x
y=2x-8

so the y intercept is -8

to find the x intercept, let y=0

0=2x-8
8=2x
x=4

**the opposite could've been done to find the y intercept, let x=0
y=2(0)-8
y=-8
