Find the X and Y intercepts y = 3/8x + 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

y = mx + b <--- here b is y -intercept y -intercept where line cross y-axis and where x is 0 so what is y-intercept ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im thinking its 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so how would you write in order pair ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,2

Nnesha (nnesha):

there you go :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

now x intercept where line cross x'axis and where y = 0 so replace y by 0 then solve for x like this 0 = 3/8x+2 solve fr x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 divided by 3/8?

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay so here it is |dw:1420137693865:dw|first subtract 2 both side
