Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts of `x=8`?

Answer 1

See a solution explanation below:

Explanation:

The equation `x = 8` represents a vertical line where for every value of `y`, `x` equals `8`.

The x-intercept for this line is `8` or `(8, 0)`. Because `x` is equal to `8` for every value of `y`, it is therefore equal to `8` when `y` is `0`.

There is no y-intercept for this line. Because it is a vertical line there is no time when `x` is equal to `0` therefore there is no y-intercept.
