Question

Determine the x-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 8:a. 2b. 4.c. -3d. -8/3

Answer 1

b. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

`2x-3y=8`

The x-intercept of the line is the value of x when y=0.

When y=0

`\begin{gathered} 2x-3y=8 \\ 2x-3(0)=8 \\ 2x=8 \\ x=(8)/(2) \\ x=4 \end{gathered}`

The x-intercept of the equation is 4.
