Find the x and y Intercepts 2x-4y=8

Problem

2*x−4*y=8

Solution

1. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

2*x−4*(0)=8

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation.

2*x=8

x=4

3. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

2*(0)−4*y=8

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation.

−4*y=8

y=−2

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(4,0), y-intercept: *(0,−2)
