You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "let x = 0 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -8
\n" ); document.write( "that-s your y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "it's the value of y when x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "let y = 0 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 2x - 8
\n" ); document.write( "add 8 to both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4 = x
\n" ); document.write( "that's the x-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "it's the value of x when y = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "graph the equation and look for the value of x when y = 0 and the value of y when x = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "you will see that y = -8 when x = 0 at the coordinate point of (0,-8) and x = 4 when y = 0 at the coordinate point of (4,0).
\n" ); document.write( "
