Question 58931This question is from textbook  
:  Here's what i did: 
the equation is 2-y=x-6. I'm trying to get it into standard form of a linear equation. 
I subtracted 6 from both sides and came up with: 8-y=x. 
I added 8 to both sides and got -y=x+8. 
Then i subtracted y from both sides and came up with the equation x-y=8. did i do this right? and would the x-intercept be (8,0), and y-intercept (0,-8)?

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! You are partly correct. 
That is till you arrived at 8-y = x 
Adding -8 to both the sides you get, 
-y = x - 8 
Adding y to both the sides u get, 
0 = x-8+y 
Or x + y - 8 = 0 
U get the intercepts by replacing x and y by 0, 
So x intercept would be (8,0) and y intercept would be (0,8)
 
Good Luck!!!
