Answer:
(0, 8) and (-4, 0)
Explanation:
Equation is -2x + y = 8
Manipulate this equation so that it becomes a slope-intercept form of equation
To do this:
Add 2x on both sides
-2x + 2x + y = 2x + 8
y = 2x + 8
Once we have this, 2 points which definitely lie on the line are its x and y intercepts
This is the equation of a line with slope = 2 and x-intercept = 8
x-intercept is y-value when x = 0
We can check by plugging in 0 for x in y = 2x + 8
=> y = 2(0) + 8 = 8
=> Point(0, 8) is one of the ordered pairs
Similarly we can find the x-intercept by setting y = 0 and solving for x
Setting y = 0 in y = 2x + 8
=> 0 = 2x + 8
Switch sides
2x + 8 = 0
Subtract 8 from both sides
2x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8
2x = -8
Divide both sides by 2
=> 2x/2 = -8/2
x = -4
So (-4, 0) is another point on the line
Two ordered pairs are therefore
(0, 8) and (-4, 0)
