Question

-2y+x=2y-8 what is the y-int and x-int?

Answer 1

x-intercept (-8,0)

y-intercept (0,2)

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, you set y equal to 0.

Like this:

-2(0)+x=2(0)-8

0 +x=0 -8

x= -8

So the x-intercept is (-8,0).

To find the y-intercept, you set x equal to 0.

Like this:

-2y+0=2y-8

-2y =2y-8

Subtract 2y on both sides

-4y=-8

Divide both sides by -4

y=2

So the y-intercept is (0,2)
