Question

What is the x-intercept of the line with the equation 8x-1/3y=16

Answer 1

The x-intercept occurs where y = 0. Since the coordinate must be, (x,0)
Plug in 0 for y and solve for x.
That'll give you the coordinate.

Answer 2

8x-1/30=16

Answer 3

Is your equation this?:
\[8x - \frac{1}{3}y = 16\]

Answer 4

When you plug in y for 0, that one term becomes (1/3) times 0. And anything times 0 is 0. So that term cancels out. Finally, you can simply solve for x.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

i get 0.5

Answer 7

Try again. You divided something wrong.
When that term cancels out, you're left with:
8x = 16

Answer 8

2

Answer 9

Correct!
So, the x-intercept of this line is (2,0)
