y=3x−8 linear equation is given. find x- and y-intercepts. write ordered pairs representing the points where the line crosses the axes.

answer the spots blank
x − intercept is
y − intercept is

ANSWER:

x − intercept is () , y − intercept is (0,8).

SOLUTION:

Given, linear equation is y = 3x – 8 --eqn (1)

We need to find x – intercept and y – intercept i.e. where the line meets x – axis and y – axis

Now, let us find x – intercept. So put y = 0 in eqn (1)

0 = 3x – 8

3x = 8

x =

So, point where given line meets x – axis is ( ,0)

Now, let us find y – intercept. So put x = 0 in (1)

y = 3(0) – 8

y = 8

So, point where given line meets y – axis is (0,8).

Hence, x − intercept is ( ,0) , y − intercept is (0,8).
