Answer:

x- intercept = - 8 , y- intercept = 4

Explanation:

to find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

x - 2(0) = - 8

x - 0 = - 8

x = - 8 ← y- intercept

to find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

0 - 2y = - 8

- 2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 4 ← y- intercept
