Question

Find the x- and y- intercepts of x - 2y = -8. Write them as ordered pairs.

Answer 1

x-intercept is y = 0.
y-intercept is x = 0.

So plug these into your equation to get your answer.

x - 2y = -8
x - 2(0) = -8
x - 0 = -8
x = -8

So the x-intercept is -8.

Answer 2

Find the y-intercept:

x - 2y = -8
(0) - 2y = -8
-2y = -8

Can you finish this? What do you have to do next?

Answer 3

You have to divide -8 / -2, what do you get?

Answer 4

4?

Answer 5

Yes, so your y-intercept is 4.

You can write this as (-8, 4)
