The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

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

          (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                       (Apply additive identity property: )

                  (Divide each side by 2)

                       (Cancel common terms)

                         (Divide: )

The y-intercept is , so the graph intersects the y-axis at .

Next find the x-intercept.

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

           (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                (Multiply:  )

                      (Apply additive identity property: )

          (Multiply each side by negative one)

                           (Product of two same signs is positive)               

The x-intercept is 8. ,so the graph intersects the x-axis at .

Graph Using Intercepts:

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.

x-intercept is 8 and  y-intercept is .
