Find the intercepts of 2x-y=-16

Answer 1

Hello Zozo,

The intercepts of a line are when the line crosses the x-axis and y-axis. Therefore, we can find our answers by plugging in x=0 and then plugging in y=0

First eq.: 0-y=16

y=-16

Second eq: 2x-0=16

x=8

Therefore are two intercepts are:

x-intercept(8,0) and y-intercept(-16,0)

I hope this helped.
