If you divide by 8, you can put the equation into intercept form. That form is ...
... x/a + y/b = 1
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively.
Here, your equation would be
... x/(-2) + y/(-4) = 0
The graph with those intercepts is not shown with your problem statement here. See the attachment for the graph.
( - 45, 0)
to find the x-intercept let y = 0 in the equation
x = 0 → x = - 15
multiply both sides by 3
x = 3 × - 15 = - 45
x-intercept = ( - 45, 0)
