| Question 368815:  Find the x- and y- intercepts. -2y + x = 2y - 8

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given the equation -2y + x = 2y - 8
 we can find the intercepts, by letting the other variable go to zero.
 For example, if we want the x-intercept, let y become zero, and we get
 0 + x = 0 - 8
 x = -8
 If we want the y-intercept, we let x be zero, and get
 -2y + 0 = 2y - 8
 -4y = -8
 y = 2
