How do you find the x and y intercepts of: x - 8y + 7 = 0? To find the x-intercept, put 0 in for y: x - 8y + 7 = 0 x - 8(0) + 7 = 0 {substituted 0 in for y}
x + 7 = 0 {multiplied 8 by 0} x = -7 {subtracted 7 from both sides} x-intercept is -7 To find the y-intercept, put 0 in for x: x - 8y + 7 = 0 0 - 8y + 7 = 0 {substituted 0 in for x} 7 = 8y {added 8y to both sides} y = 7/8 {divided both sides by 8} y-intercept is 7/8 - Algebra House
