Q. Find the x-intercept of the line 2x−14y=−16. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
Set y to 0: To find the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve for x.Substitute 0 for y in 2x−14y=−16.2x−14(0)=−162x=−16
Substitute y with 0: Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x.22x=2−16x=−8
