Question

what are the x and y intercepts of the equation: x + y = 8

Answer 1

(8,0) and (0,8) Using a website called desmos can help to visualize things like this.

Answer 2

x + y = 8

x-intercept ⇒ when y = 0

x + 0 = 8
x = 8

y-intercept ⇒ x = 0
0 + y = 8
y = 8

Answer: x-intercept (8,0) , y -intercept = (0.8)
