Question

determine the x and y intercepts of 2x + y = 4 and graph the line I have ADHD and it frustrates me when I'm on problem more than 5 minutes

Answer 1

For this problem, to compute the x-intercept we put y=0 in the given equation:

`2x+0=4`

And solving for x we get:

`\begin{gathered} 2x=4 \\ x=(4)/(2) \\ x=2\text{ } \end{gathered}`

To compute the y-intercept we put x=0 and get:

`2(0)+y=4`

Solving for y we get:

`\begin{gathered} 0+y=4 \\ y=4 \end{gathered}`

Answer: The x-intercept is x=2 and the y-intercept is y=4. The graph of the line is:
