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

Problem

x−2*y=4

Solution

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

x−2*(0)=4

2. Solve for x to determine the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.

x=4

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

0−2*y=4

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

−2*y=4

y=−2

Final Answer

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