Hi,
*Note finding two points on the line is one way of determining the graph:
x + 2y = 8
.
Solving equation for x = 0 gives the following point
(0, 4)
Solving for y = 0 gives the following point
and (8, 0) are the

Solve for the intercepts.
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
x+%2B+2y+=+8
x%2B2%280%29=8
x=8
(8,0)
