Question

The equation 
 is in standard form and tells us the x-intercept and y-intercept easily.  What are the x and y intercepts for this equation?
Responses

The line crosses the x-axis at (-8, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 10)
The line crosses the x-axis at (-8, 0) and the y-axis at (0, 10)

The line crosses the x-axis at (4, 40) and the y-axis at (-8, 40)

Yes but what is wrong with
The line crosses the x-axis at (10, 0) and the y-axis at (0, -8)

The statement "The line crosses the x-axis at (10, 0) and the y-axis at (0, -8)" is incorrect because the x-intercept cannot be (10,0) for the equation provided in standard form. The x-intercept for the given equation is (-8,0).

Oh, right, I did not notice the y = m x + b part.

No problem! It's always important to consider all parts of the equation when determining intercepts. Let me know if you have any other questions.
