To find the x-intercept, you need to set y equal to zero(think about this on a graph!) This will become: x + 2(0) = 8 If we remove the unnecessary zero: x = 8 That's the x intercept, which can be expressed as the point (8,0).
To find the y-intercept, you need to set x equal to zero(again, think about that on a graph!) This becomes: 0 + 2y = 8 Remove the unnecessary 0: 2y = 8 Divide both sides by 2: y = 4 There ya go! Or, in point form: (0, 4) Hope this helped! :) ~Chrys
