Question: Find the intercepts and graph the equation: y + 2 = 2x + 8
1 answer:
Answer:
- x-intercept = -3
- y-intercept = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
For the purpose, it is convenient to put the equation into intercept form:
... x/x-intercept + y/y-intercept = 1
... 2x -y = -6 . . . . add -8-y to the equation given
... x/-3 +y/6 = 1 . . . . divide by -6
The x-intercept is -3; the y-intercept is 6.
See the attached for a graph. The graph is a line through the intercept points.
