Find the x-intercept by substituting in 0 for y and solving for x.
Find the y-intercept by substituting in 0 for x and solving for y.
Let's find the x-intercept first: 2x + (0) = 8
2x = 8
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate and solve for the variable x, or the x-intercept.
x = 4 (x-intercept)
Now find the y-intercept: 2(0) + y = 8
Multiply 2 and 0.
y = 8 (y-intercept)
You have found the x-intercept to be 4 and the y-intercept to be 8. To graph the line, place a point on (4, 0) <== x-intercept and a point on (0, 8) <== y-intercept.
Your line should look like the attached image :)
