Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 8x - 3y = 24. State each

answer as an integer or an improper fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

( 0 , -8 ) and ( 3 , 0 )

Explanation:

→ Substitute x = 0

-3y = 24

→ Divide both sides by -3

y = -8 ∴ ( 0 , -8 )

→ Substitute y = 0

8x = 24

→ Divide both sides by -3

y = 3 ∴ ( 3 , 0 )
