What is the x-intercept and the y-intercept for x+2y=8

1 answer:

8 0

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! :)

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the following parabola algebraically.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

the equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola with vertical branches like this one, is an equation of a vertical line that passes through the very vertex of the parabola and divides it into its two symmetric branches. Such vertical line would have therefore an expression of the form: $x=constant$ , being that constant the very x-coordinate of the vertex.
