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

Problem

y=2*x+4

Solution

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

y=2*(0)+4

y=4

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

0=2*x+4

3. Solve for x by subtracting 4 from both sides.

−4=2*x

4. Divide by 2 to isolate x

x=−2

Final Answer

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