Question

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation.
2x + y = -8

Answer 1

Dear Bobie:
Think of the x-intercept as the point on the x-axis where the line 2x+y=-8 crosses that axis. At that point, y=0. So: let y = 0 in 2x + y = -8. Solve the resulting value for x.

Answer 2

As mathmale have said for x-intercept put y=0
and for y-intercept put x=0 in the equation.
@mathmale good work bro!

Answer 3

Try it for yourself & post the answers we'll check them !

Answer 4

let y=0 therefore 2x + 0 =-8
x=-4
so is that the x intercept?

Answer 5

yup
