Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line with equation 8x - 4y = -64

x-intercept:8

y-intercept:16

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the equation of a straight line. When the line crosses the x-axis that is the x- intercept, the corresponding y-coordinate will be zero. Substituting y = 0 into the equation and solving for x gives the x-intercept.

8x-(4×0)=-64

         -8x=-64

             x=8   <=  the x-intercept.

Similarly, when the line crosses the y-axis the corresponding x- coordinate will be zero. Let x = 0 and solve for y.

(8×0)-4y=-64

        -4y=-64

           y=16    <=  the y-intercept .
