To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for 'x':
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 2y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 2(0) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 0 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the x-intercept is at (3,0)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for 'y':
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 2y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "8(0) - 2y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "0 - 2y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "-2y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "y = -12
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the y-intercept is at (0,-12)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
