Question

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

Answer 1

x-intercept= 4
y-intercept= -8

Answer 2

To find the x-intercept, make y as 0. To find the y intercept, make x as 0.

For the y-intercept:

2x - y = 8

2(0) - y = 8

-y = 8 or y = -8

For the x-intercept:

2x - y = 8

2x - 0 = 8

2x = 8

x = 4
