Question

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

Answer 1

The Choices are 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 2

put x=0 solve for y .You get y intercept

put y=0 solve for x you get x intercept

Answer 3

Hope that helps

Answer 4

Not really... I'm still so confused

Answer 5

x - 2y = 8.

x=0

-2y=8

y=?

Answer 6

x - 2y = 8.

y=0

x=8

Answer 7

can you do it now ?

Answer 8

So we have the equation;

x - 2y = 8

So, first let's find the x-int;

To find the x-int, we need to set y = 0 and solve for x.

x - 2(0) = 8
x - 0 = 8
x = 8
So the -int is (8, 0)

Now to find the y-int we need to replace x with 0 and solve for y, using what I did above, how would you start that?

Answer 9

It would be 0,-4

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

now u also got x=8 for x intercept !

Answer 12

So the final answer will be option b
