Find the x and y Intercepts y=8x-8

$y = 8 x - 8$

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$0 = 8 x - 8$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $8 x - 8 = 0$ .

$8 x - 8 = 0$

Add $8$ to both sides of the equation.

$8 x = 8$

Divide each term in $8 x = 8$ by $8$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $8 x = 8$ by $8$ .

$\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{8}{8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{8}{8}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{8}{8}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $8$ by $8$ .

$x = 1$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(1, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$y = 8 (0) - 8$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 8 (0) - 8$

Simplify $8 (0) - 8$ .

Multiply $8$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 - 8$

Subtract $8$ from $0$ .

$y = - 8$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 8)$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(1, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 8)$
