What is the x-intercept of the line with the equation 8x-1/3y=16? ([ ],0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find it just plug a 0 for y and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it becomes 8x=16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do I find the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its still says im typing :/

@iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well now its 8x = 16 so divide by 8 to each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the answer is 8 @RyleeC?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the x-intercept is when y = 0 substitute y = 0 in your equation and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no what is 16/8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait 2 I did 16/2 XD woops

OpenStudy (igreen):

8x-1/3y=16 8x-1/3(0)=16 8x = 16 Can you divide 16 / 8? @Samus_Aran

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so your x-intercept is 2.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Or (2, 0)
