Find the x and y Intercepts y=x-8

$y = x - 8$

Find the x-intercepts.

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

$0 = x - 8$

Solve the equation.

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

$x - 8 = 0$

Add $8$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 8$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

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

Find the y-intercepts.

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

$y = (0) - 8$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0 - 8$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (0) - 8$

Subtract $8$ from $0$ .

$y = - 8$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

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

List the intersections.

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

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