8y - 2y = 24
a)
The x intercept is when y = 0; if we use the equation when y = 0:
8x - 2(0) = 24 ==> 8x = 24 ==> x = 24/8 ==> x = 3
So the fist answer is TRUE
b)
The y intercept is when x = 0; if we use the equation with x = 0:
8(0) - 2y = 24 ==> -2y = 24 ==> y = 24/(-2) ==> y = -12
So the second answer is FALSE
c)
if we take the equation and solve it for y:
8x - 2y = 24 ==> 8x - 24 = 2y ==> (8x - 24)/2 = y ==> 4x - 12 = y ==> y = 4x -12
So the third answer is TRUE
