We can find the y-intercept by setting x equal to zero, and then solving for y, for the x-intercept, we can calculate it by setting y equal to zero, then solving for x, like this:

x + 2y = 8

Y-intercept:

0 + 2y =8, then:

2y=8, dividing both sides by 2:

2y/2=8/2

y=4

Then, the Y-intercept is (0,4)

X-intercept

x+2*0=8

x=8

Then, the X-intercept is (8,0)

We can draw these points like this:

As you can see, the x-
