Study Notes

  • The text discusses the equation y = 2x + 8, which is in slope-intercept form.
  • The text mentions that the equation can be graphed to find the slope, y-intercept, and x-intercept.
  • However, the text focuses on finding the slope, y-intercept, and x-intercept algebraically without graphing.
  • The text explains that the slope is 2, which is evident from the equation's slope-intercept form.
  • The text states that the y-intercept is 8, which is the value of y when x = 0.
  • To find the y-intercept, one sets x = 0 and solves for y.
  • The text also explains that the x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.
  • To find the x-intercept, one sets y = 0 and solves for x.
  • The text mentions that when the equation y = 2x + 8 intercepts the y-axis, the x value is 0, and when it intercepts the x-axis, the y value is 0.
  • The text provides an example of finding the y-intercept and x-intercept using the given equation.
