Question

find the y-intercept and x-intercept of the
2x - y = 8
y -intercept:

x -intercept:

Explanation:

Step1: Find y-intercept (x=0)

Substitute \( x = 0 \) into \( 2x - y = 8 \):
\( 2(0) - y = 8 \)
\( -y = 8 \)
\( y = -8 \)

Step2: Find x-intercept (y=0)

Substitute \( y = 0 \) into \( 2x - y = 8 \):
\( 2x - 0 = 8 \)
\( 2x = 8 \)
\( x = 4 \)

Answer:

y-intercept: \(-8\)
x-intercept: \(4\)
