Question

Determine the X and the Y intercept of the graph of y equals 1/4 x -2

Answer 1

The given graph is


`y = (1)/(4) x - 2`
For y intercept put x=0 in the equation.


`y = (1)/(4) (0) - 2`


`y = 0 - 2`


`y = - 2`
The y intercept is

`(0,-2)`


For x intercept , put y=0 in the equation.


`0 = (1)/(4) x - 2`

Make x the subject


`(1)/(4) x = 2`

`x = 4 * 2`


`x = 8`

The x - intercept is
