Question

What are the intercepts on a graph for y=4x-2

Answer 1

the x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0



x intercept
solve for where y=0

0=4x-2
add 2
2=4x
divide 4
1/2=x
x intercept at x=1/2 or at the point (1/2,0)


y intercept
x=0
y=4(0)-2
y=0-2
y=-2
y intercept at y=-2 or the point (0,-2)




x intercept at x=1/2 or at the point (1/2,0)
y intercept at y=-2 or the point (0,-2)

Answer 2

The intercepts for this equation is (1/2,-2) I hope this helps
