Question #c5ba5

Answer 1

Find the x and y intercepts and draw a line through them.

Explanation:

If you have the equation of a line in standard form `ax+by =c`, then
you can find the `x and y`-intercepts really easily.

To find the `x`-intercept, make `color(red)(y=0)`

`x-color(red)(y) =8`
`x-color(red)(0) =8" "larr` solve for `x`
`x=8" "larr` this is the `x`-intercept

To find the `y`-intercept, make `color(blue)(x=0)`

`color(blue)(x) -y =8`

`color(blue)(0) -y =8" "larr` solve for `y`
`-y=8`

`y = -8" "larr` this is the `y`-intercept
graph{x-y=8 [-16.79, 23.21, -16.56, 3.44]}
