Question

QL

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the equation.
-x + 2y = 4

O (4,0). (0,2)
O None of these
O (-4.0), (0.-2)
O (4.0), (0, -2)
O (-4.0), (0.2)
pls help

Answer 1

Option 2: none of these

Explanation:

-x +2y= 4

x-intercept occurs at y=0.

When y=0,

-x +2(0)= 4

-x= 4

x= -4

Thus, x-intercept is (-4,0).

y-intercept occurs at x=0.

When x=0,

0 +2y= 4

2y= 4

y= 4 ÷2

y= 2

Thus, y-intercept is (0,2).

*When writing coordinates, the x and y coordinates are separated by a comma in the bracket. If the 3rd option is a comma instead of a dot (which could instead denote a multiplication sign), it would be the correct option.
