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! :)

Answer:
One standard deviation above the mean means a z-score of 1.0. If we put this into the calculator as normalcdf(1,999) = .159
15.9 percent of the athletes would have a distance greater than 20.56 meters.
Now multiply the number of athletes by the percent.
.159 * 40 = 6.346 = about 6 athletes
c. about 6 athletes
The answer is:
7 miles
5+2=7
