Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.y = 8 – 18

Answer 1

the eqution is:

`y=8x-18`

So we know that the y intercept will be -18

and to find the intercept with x axis we replace y=0 and solve for x so:

`\begin{gathered} 0=8x-18 \\ 8x=18 \\ x=(18)/(8) \\ x=2.25 \end{gathered}`

so the coordinates are:

`\begin{gathered} y\to(0,-18) \\ x\to(2.25,0) \end{gathered}`
