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

Problem

4*x−2*y=8

Solution

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

4*x−2*(0)=8

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation.

4*x=8

x=2

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

4*(0)−2*y=8

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation.

−2*y=8

y=−4

Final Answer

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