Determine the x- and y-intercepts for the given function.
-$$r ( x ) = | x - 8 |$$
A) $x$-intercept: $( 8,0 ) ; y$-intercept: $( 0,8 )$
B) $x$-intercept: $( 0,8 ) ; y$-intercept: $( 0,0 )$
C) $x$-intercepts: $( 0,8 ) , ( 0 , - 8 ) ; y$-intercept: $( 0,8 )$
D) $x$-intercept: none; $y$-intercept: $( 0,8 )$

The x-intercept occurs when $r(x) = 0$, which happens at $x = 8$, hence $(8, 0)$. The y-intercept occurs when $x = 0$, which gives $r(0) = |0 - 8| = 8$, hence $(0, 8)$.
