Answers

  1. Given:

    The equation is

    -x+y=8

    To find:

    The x- and y-intercepts.

    Solution:

    We have,

    -x+y=8

    Put x=0 in the given equation to find the y-intercept.

    -(0)+y=8

    y=8

    Put y=0 in the given equation to find the x-intercept.

    -x+(0)=8

    -x=8

    x=-8

    Therefore, the x-intercept is -8 and the y-intercept is 8.
