Answer:
The answer to your question is 2 or (2, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
slope = m = 4
y-intercept = -8
Process
1.- Write the equation of the line in the slope y-intercept
y = mx + b
In this equation:
m = slope
b = y-intercept
-Substitution
y = 4x - 8
2.- To find the x-intercept, consider that y = 0 and solve for x.
0 = 4x - 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2 or (2, 0)
8x - 19 = 36
8x = 55
x = 55/8 = 6 7/8
-2x + 19 = -66
-2x = -85
2x = 85
x = 42 1/2
