Question

Find the x intercept and the y intercept of the graph of the equation
2x+4y=8

Answer 1

x-intercept: 4

y-intercept: 2

Explanation:

finding the x-intercept:

first, substitute y = 0.

2x + 4 x 0 = 8

then, remove the 0.

2x + 0 = 8

then, divide both sides. 2x = 8

so, x = 4.

finding the y-intercept:

first, substitute x = 0.

then, solve.

2 x 0 + 4y = 8

so, y = 2.
