Question

graph the linear equation. x-2y=-8

Answer 1

One way to quickly graph it is to find the x and y intercepts.
To find x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.
To find y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Put a point for the x-intercept on the x-axis.
Put a point for the y-intercept on the y-axis.

Use a ruler and draw a line passing through those two points.

Answer 2

x-2y=-8
To find x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.
x - 0 = -8 x intercept = -8

To find y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.
0 - 2y = -8
y = 4 y intercept = 4

Draw the line.
