y-intercept:

a: -8
b: -4
c:-2
d:2
e:4
f:8

Answer 1

The x-intercept is the value of x when y is equal is zero. It is the point in the x-axis intersected by the line. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero. It is where the line intersects in the axis. Therefore, for the given equation:

y=−12x+4

y=−12(0)+4 = 4<--------y-intercept

0=−12x+4
x = 1/3 <--------x-intercept
