Question

Identify the correct x intercept and y intercept of the equation x - 2y = 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)

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

Answer 1

how did you do it

Answer 2

intercepts are defined for when they cross the relevant axis

Answer 3

x intercept is defined for y=0

y intercept is defined for x=0
