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

First you should solve the equation if you haven't already...

Answer 2

will you walk me through it? my teacher didnt help me at all

Answer 3

No problem.
2x-y=8
(subtract 2x from both sides) -y=-2x+8
(multiply both sides by -1) y=2x-8
At this point you have your y-intercept which is (0,-8)

Answer 4

okay thank you like i have needed alot o help on math

Answer 5

Me too. Do you know how to find the x-intercept from here?

Answer 6

add 1 on both sides?

Answer 7

You have to substitute y for 0 so it should look like 0=2x-8 then solve for x like you solved for y before.

Answer 8

x=4?

Answer 9

so b?

Answer 10

Yep.
