Question

Determine the x-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 8:a. 2b. 4.c. -3d. -8/3

Answer 1

Answer:

b. 4

Explanation:

Given the equation

$2x-3y=8$

The x-intercept of the line is the value of x when y=0.

When y=0

$\begin{gathered} 2x-3y=8 \\ 2x-3(0)=8 \\ 2x=8 \\ x=\frac{8}{2} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$

The x-intercept of the equation is 4.
