Question

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

Answer 1

To find x intercept, you must do y=0, and solve for y
\[x=8\]To obtain the y intercept, simple x=0,
\[-2y=8\Rightarrow y=-4\]

Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

@John_ES

Answer 4

To find the intercepts you need to find where the line cuts each axis. Do you understand this?

Answer 5

i think >.<

Answer 6

Then, the "protocol" is the following,
- x axis intercept: do y=0, and solve for x. The points that cut the x axis must have y=0.
- y axis intercept: do x=0, and solve for y. The points that cut the y axis must have x=0.

Answer 7

O.O

Answer 8

but my options 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 9

i been stuck on my homework can you please help its getting late >.<

Answer 10

Of course, it is the second option the correct one.

Answer 11

thank you so much for your help do you think you can help on another one ?

Answer 12

Remember, the x intercept must have y=0, so for us is (8,0). And the y intercept must have x=0, so it must be (0,-4).

Answer 13

Yes, tell me.

Answer 14

Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation x - 4y = 4.

slope = 4; y intercept at (0, -1)

slope = one fourth; y intercept at (0, 1)

slope = one fourth; y intercept at (0, -1)

slope = -4; y intercept at (0, 1)

Answer 15

First, we rewrite the eqution,
\[y=\frac{1}{4}x-1\]And we see it is similar to the general slope form,
\[y=mx+n\]where m is the slope and n the y intercept. So,
\[m=1/4;\ \
n=-1\]It is the third option.

Answer 16

thank you very much i honestly wish i could remember how to do the problems i remember while im doing it in class but when i come home im like ?.?

Answer 17

I know it, the best solution is to keep the hard word. ;)
