Question

Name the x intercept of the following line:
8x-2y=6

Write the answer as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

The x intercept of a line is the place where the line intersects the x axis.



in other words, the x intercept is the point where y = 0. So in the equation 8x - 2y = 6 you should set y = 0 and then solve for x.

Since y = 0 for the x intercept, when expressed as an ordered pair the solution will look like (?, 0) where "?" represents the value of x you solve for in the previous paragraph.
