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

Problem

x+4*y=8

Solution

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

x+4*(0)=8

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

x=8

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

0+4*y=8

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

4*y=8

y=2

Final Answer

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