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

Problem

2*x−y=4

Solution

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

2*x−0=4

2. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 2

2*x=4

x=2

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

2*(0)−y=4

4. Solve for y by multiplying both sides by −1

−y=4

y=−4

Final Answer

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