You will need to substitute 0 and solve for a variable twice before graphing.
We will graph this equation by finding and plotting its intercepts, then connecting them with a line. To find the x- and y-intercepts, we will need to substitute 0 for one variable, solve, then repeat for the other variable.
An x-intercept of -8 means that the graph passes through the x-axis at the point ( -8,0).
We can now graph the equation by plotting the intercepts and connecting them with a line.
