Find the x and y Intercepts 4x+y=8

Problem

4*x+y=8

Solution

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

4*(0)+y=8

y=8

2. Identify the y-intercept as a point.

(0,8)

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

4*x+0=8

4*x=8

4. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 4

x=8/4

x=2

5. Identify the x-intercept as a point.

(2,0)

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(2,0), y-intercept: *(0,8)
