Answer:

y intercept is at 4, and x intercept at -2

Explanation:

4x-2y=-8,

→The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y axis so the x coordinate there is 0.

We substitute x= 0 in the 4x-2y=-8 and find y

4*0 -2y = -8, multiply

-2y = -8, divide both sides by -2

y = 4

→The x-intercept is where the graph intersects the x-axis so the y coordinate there is 0.

We substitute y = 0 in the 4x-2y=-8 and find x

4x -2*0 = -8, multiply

4x = -8, divide both sides by 4

x = -2
