Question

Given the equation -2x + 8y = 24, determine the x- and y-intercepts. PLZ HELP???

Answer 1

`x=(-12,0)`

`y=(0,3)`

Explanation:

x-intercept

`-2(x-4y)=24`

`x-4y=-(24)/(2)`

`x-4y=-12`

`x=4y-12`

`x=4(0)-12`

`x=-12`

y-intercept

`-2(x-4y)=24`

`x-4y=-(24)/(2)`

`x-4y=-12`

`-4y=-12-x`

`y=-(-12-x)/(4)`

`y=-(-12-(0))/(4)`

`y=(12)/(4)`

`y=3`
