Question

Identify the correct x intercept and y intercept of the equation x - 2y = 8.
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 1

y intercept means x=0 put in equation
0-2y=8
-2y=8
divide both side by -2
y=8/-2
y=-4 this is y intercept

Answer 2

x intercept means y=0

Answer 3

x-0=8
x=8 means x intercept

Answer 4
