Find the x and y Intercepts 2x+y=4

Problem

2*x+y=4

Solution

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

2*(0)+y=4

2. Solve for y to determine the coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis.

y=4

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

2*x+0=4

4. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2

2*x=4

x=2

Final Answer

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