Question 77267
8x-2y=5
The intercepts are the points where the line crosses either the x or y-axis.
.
to find the x-intercept or the point where the line crosses the x-axis:
Let y=0 and solve for x
8x-2y=5
8x-2(0)=5
8x=5
x=5/8=.625
The x-intercept = (5/8, 0)
.
To find the y-intercept or the point where the line crosses the y-axis:
Let x=0 and solve for y
8x-2y=5
8(0)-2y=5
-2y=5
y=-5/2=-2.5
The y-intercept = (0, -2.5)

.
8x-2y=5
-2y=-8x+5
y=4x-5/2
