Question

Find and graph the intercepts of the following linear Equation: x+y=8

Answer 1

Given:

`x+y=8`

Aim:

We need to graph and find the intercepts of the following linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x =0 in the given linear equation to find the y-intercept.

`0+y=8`
`y=8`

The y-intercept is (0,8).

Substitute y =0 in the given linear equation to find the x-intercept.

`x+0=8`
`x=8`

The x-intercept is (8,0).

Mark the points (0,8) and (8,0) on the graph and join them by ray.

FInal answer:

The y-intercept is (0,8).

The x-intercept is (8,0).

The graph of the given linear equation:
