Find the coordinates of the y-intercept and the x-intercept, in that order.
-2x + y = 8
A) (4, 0) (0, 8)
B) (0, 8) (0, -8)
C) (8, -8) (8, 8)
D) (8, 0) (-8, 0)

The y-intercept occurs where x=0, so substituting x=0 into the equation gives y=8, resulting in the point (0, 8). The x-intercept occurs where y=0, so substituting y=0 into the equation gives 2x=8, or x=4, resulting in the point (4, 0).
