The given equation is


8x-2y=16

To find the x-intercept, we make y = 0.


\begin{gathered} 8x-2\cdot0=16 \\ 8x-0=16 \\ 8x=16 \\ x=(16)/(8) \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the x-intercept is (2,0).

To find the y-intercept, we make x = 0.


\begin{gathered} 8\cdot0-2y=16 \\ 0-2y=16 \\ -2y=16 \\ y=-(16)/(2) \\ y=-8 \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-intercept is (0,-8).
