Question

graph this line using intercepts:
x - 8y = 8
click to select points on the graph.
(graph with x-axis from -10 to 10 and y-axis from -10 to 10, grid lines, and axes arrows)

Explanation:

Step1: Find x-intercept (y=0)

Substitute \( y = 0 \) into \( x - 8y = 8 \):
\( x - 8(0) = 8 \)
\( x = 8 \)
So, x-intercept is \( (8, 0) \).

Step2: Find y-intercept (x=0)

Substitute \( x = 0 \) into \( x - 8y = 8 \):
\( 0 - 8y = 8 \)
\( -8y = 8 \)
\( y = \frac{8}{-8} = -1 \)
So, y-intercept is \( (0, -1) \).

Answer:

To graph the line \( x - 8y = 8 \), plot the x-intercept \( (8, 0) \) and the y-intercept \( (0, -1) \), then draw a straight line through these two points.
