Question
Find the coordinates of the $x$ - and $y$ -intercepts of the graph of each equation. You do not have to graph the equation.$$x+y=8$$
Step 1
This is because at the $x$-intercept, the graph crosses the $x$-axis where $y$ is zero. So, we substitute $y=0$ into the equation $x+y=8$ to get $x+0=8$. Show more…
