Question

Y=2/3×+8find the x and y intercept

Answer 1

x intercept is x-cutting point. Found by setting y equal to 0.

y intercept is y-cutting point. Found by setting x equal to 0.

X-intercept: (y = 0)

`\begin{gathered} y=(2)/(3)x+8 \\ (2)/(3)x-8=0 \\ (2)/(3)x=8 \\ x=(8)/((2)/(3))=8\cdot(3)/(2)=12 \\ x=12 \end{gathered}`

Y-intercept (x=0):

`\begin{gathered} y=(2)/(3)x+8 \\ y=0-8 \\ y=-8 \end{gathered}`
